The Allied States of Drufe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Fedde Eaugha with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 19.758 billion Drufeans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Defense, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Healthcare and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Drufean economy, worth a remarkable 1,617 trillion Ibs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 81,879 Ibs, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how Premier Fedde Eaugha is spelt now, even in a one-horse town police are as common as fleas on a stray dog, and the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drufe's national animal is the arctic fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Drufe is ranked 17,132^nd in the world and 2^nd in Heart for Largest Populations, with 19.8 billion capita.
