The Whisky Priest's of Drumtroddan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King William IX with a fair hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.799 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cruggleton. The average income tax rate is 68%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, refugees from other nations are flocking to Drumtroddan's border, all guns must be registered, and the children of Drumtroddan are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate. Drumtroddan's national animal is the German Shepherd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Thaler.

Drumtroddan is ranked 103rd in United Kingdom and 71,116th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 102 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
