The Republic of Drongonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Bill English with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.288 billion Drongonians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Christchurch. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Drongonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,833 trillion Drongonian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 339,633 Drongonian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, Prime Minister Bill English has returned as a hero from a brutal campaign to conquer the local beach, and pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold. Crime is totally unknown. Drongonia's national animal is the Drongo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Drongonia is ranked 49,326th in the world and 1st in Anglospheric Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,840.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
