The Community of Drentenae is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its digital currency, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8.302 billion Drentenaeans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Drentenaean economy, worth 139 trillion guilders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 16,779 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, and it is illegal to comfort a crying baby between the hours of 6 pm and 8 pm. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drentenae's national animal is the stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drentenae is ranked 10,068^th in the world and 580^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 121.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
