OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Commonwealth of Drestenland is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 850 million Drestine 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dresden. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dresten economy, worth 90.6 trillion feras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,619 feras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The GPS-tracked jogging routes of military personnel are a possible security risk, birth rates have hit an all-time low, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drestenland's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Drestenland is ranked 18,804th in the world and 191st in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 2,891 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
