The Holy Krolkoni of Dronelig is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.63 billion Deruns are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.5%.

The strong Droneligian economy, worth 96.6 trillion Ædelstens a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,288 Ædelstens, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, the fire protection service is wholly government-funded, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dronelig's national animal is the Kuper Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dronelig is ranked 17,843^rd in the world and 399^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,940.18 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
