The Cheesy Republic of Cliyf Drines is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Elder Putz with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.743 billion Cliyf Drinesians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maple Town. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cliyf Drinesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,070 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 131,508 Canadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, the official Cliyf Drinesian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats, and ratings for schools' curricula range from 'Pure as the Driven Snow' to 'Late Night TV'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cliyf Drines's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Cliyf Drines is ranked 213,761^st in the world and 114^th in Canada for Safest, scoring 30.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
