The Holy Authority of Drenth Islands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Dictator Overlord with an iron fist, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.39 billion Drenth Islanders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nofreedomia. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Drenth Islandian economy, worth 138 trillion DAWS Dollars 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing 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 99,599 DAWS Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign converts are illuminated by both missionaries and helicopter searchlights, favourite sermons have replaced campfire horror stories on teenage wilderness trips, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', and the banshee wail foretells skies of death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drenth Islands's national animal is the naked mole-rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Drenthism.

Drenth Islands is ranked 987th in the world and 1st in The Trout Essembly for Most Primitive, scoring 249.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
