The Stavka of Drinnon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Marshal Markus Briand with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23.288 billion Drinnoni are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. The average income tax rate is 84.1%.
The powerhouse Drinnoni economy, worth a remarkable 1,903 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 81,733 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Major corporations receive tax breaks for no apparent reason, there's a mortuary next to every Drinnoni restaurant, footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, and citizens have voted the song "Marshal Markus Briand Smells Like A Libreagle" as their new national anthem. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drinnon's national animal is the Libreagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dalism.
Drinnon is ranked 42,445th in the world and 6th in Cairo Club for Most Authoritarian, with 1,986.51 milliStalins.
