The High Kingdom of Droiden is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Köngra Alís II Kjær-Rostöchen-Furton with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.777 billion Droidenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Althior. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Droidenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,621 trillion Crobenats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 205,137 Crobenats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, a new apartment is worth a thousand betrayals, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, and the past is set in stone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Droiden's national animal is the Swan Goose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Droidenian Orthodox Church.

Droiden is ranked 273,652nd in the world and 105th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Highest Drug Use, scoring 35.8 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
