The Holy Krolkoni of Dronelig is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and frequent executions. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.684 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. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Droneligian economy, worth 91.9 trillion Ædelstens a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is 54,566 Ædelstens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 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 well-funded 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 38,316^th in the world and 1,367^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
