^{The People's Republic of Drolund}

_Info

The People's Republic of Drolund is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, intelligent population of 585 million Drolundians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 62%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

Every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, main battle tanks stalk the woods of Drolund in search of Mako Sharks, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, and all 'unconventional' weaponry has been banned. Crime is relatively low. Drolund's national animal is the Mako Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its currency is the Piece.
