The Kingdom of Dronth is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.818 billion Dronthians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense also on the agenda, while Industry and Environment receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.
The strong Dronthian economy, worth 504 trillion Reds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 64,472 Reds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 216,743 per year while the poor average 14,220, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.
Dronth has designated Dronth City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Dronth in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Dronth's national religion, and inter-species marriages are ignored by the government. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Dronth's national animal is the giant flying beardog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Dronth is ranked 19,411th in the world and 42nd in The Eighth Closet for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,800.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
