The Crippled Old Sheep of Drop Your Pants is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Mr Sheep with an even hand, and notable for its enforced nudity. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.525 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sheeptropolis. The average income tax rate is 99%. 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.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00, and people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drop Your Pants's national animal is the Fluffy Sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Sheeptastic Monks, and its currency is the Dali's Patience.

Drop Your Pants is ranked 1,012th in Lazarus and 41,304th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 140 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
