The Holy Authority of Drenth Islands is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Dictator Overlord with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, triple-decker prams, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.584 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 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Drenth Islandian economy, worth 190 trillion Trout coins 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, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 an impressive 120,168 Trout coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, military spending recently hit a new high, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, and midnight raids drag couples from their homes in the name of decency. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Drenthism.

Drenth Islands is ranked 291,287th in the world and 404th in The Trout Essembly for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
