The High-Rising Metropolis of Drientin is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Godfather with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 783 million Drientinians 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.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Realé. The average income tax rate is 57.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Drientinian economy, worth 98.3 trillion Krans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 125,554 Krans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The true length of the coastline of Drientin may never be measured, aides are afraid to ask if Godfather wants a cup of tea or coffee, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, and the countryside is shrouded by wind farms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drientin's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drientin is ranked 235,284^th in the world and 593^rd in Horizon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
