The Imperial Empire of Drifterica is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Shino Kyuwa with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.162 billion Driftericans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Honiahaka. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drifterican economy, worth 998 trillion Blossom Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,002 Blossom Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, a newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Drifterican as 'your finger, you fool', the Peregine Falcon is a protected species, and the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drifterica's national animal is the Peregine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Drifterica is ranked 77,427^th in the world and 1^st in Drifterica for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,444.59 Standard Monetary Units.
