The Republic of Drop Bears is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Daddy Bear with a fair hand, and renowned for its digital currency, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.599 billion Droppings enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Den. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Drop Bearsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,372 trillion Dropleses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 159,600 Dropleses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, therapists can always squeeze in another house-call, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drop Bears's national animal is the Drop Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Drop Bears is ranked 178,234^th in the world and 39^th in Kerbals of the North for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 833.91 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
