Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Rogue Nation of Drewsenshireton is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.244 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 Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drewsenshireton City. The average income tax rate is 61%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Gambling and Tourism.

The government pours millions of blings into rehabilitation programs annually, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, medical lawsuits are out of control, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is well under control. Drewsenshireton's national animal is the ai, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the bling.

Drewsenshireton is ranked 1,767th in The North Pacific and 40,975th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
