The Free Land of Drutopia is a large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 158 million Drutopians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Public Transport, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 17.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Drutopian economy, worth 6.05 trillion Drubits 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 Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. 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 38,296 Drubits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, surveillance cameras are banned, hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, and the song 'They Got an Awful Lot of Coffee in Drutopia' is a smash hit. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Drutopia's national animal is the Bungle, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Drutopia is ranked 312,099th in the world and 3rd in Sol System for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -5.48 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
