The Characters of Dryf Nation is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Nypho with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 2.684 billion Characters 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Center Of Mind. The average income tax rate is 50.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Characterized economy, worth 207 trillion canios a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,483 canios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing, Nypho is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, and gambling is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dryf Nation's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Impolism.

Dryf Nation is ranked 128,824^th in the world and 2,869^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,754.96 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
