The Kingdom of Drenetharada is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Jamie Peterson with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.339 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, the Environment, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanaratcha. The average income tax rate is 91%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Kanaratcha Times is sold out, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown. Drenetharada's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Gelder.

Drenetharada is ranked 41st in Europe and 4,101st in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 116 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
