The Principality of Drudkh is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its enslaved workforce, unlimited-speed roads, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.92 billion Drudkhians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 43.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Drudkhian economy, worth 221 trillion hryvnias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 75,845 hryvnias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
International tensions are high as Drudkh threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, the decision to be oppressed is now made democratically, and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drudkh's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Drudkh is ranked 287,815th in the world and 38th in Encyclopaedia Metallum for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 262.29 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
