The Republic of Dry River is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working population of 6.953 billion Dry Riverians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.1%.

The very strong Dry Riverian economy, worth 393 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 56,600 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,552 per year while the poor average 7,039, a ratio of 38.1 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Dry River's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Dry River is ranked 268,184^th in the world and 3,055^th in Hispano Germanic Alliance for Most Conservative, scoring 33.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
