The Fiefdom of Drubbing is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Gullfoss Noodle with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.677 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drubbing City. 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.

Most citizens in Drubbing are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, prospective parents are cheering on the streets as they no longer need a license to have children, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and all-natural foods are becoming a major fad. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drubbing's national animal is the biting gnat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Miratreellism, and its currency is the blork.

Drubbing is ranked 2,968th in Balder and 131,071st in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -20 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
