The Characters of Dryf Nation is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Nypho with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 2.609 billion Characters have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Center Of Mind. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Characterized economy, worth 215 trillion canios a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,556 canios, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Judicial torture is outsourced overseas, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Dryf Nation's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Impolism.

Dryf Nation is ranked 85,989^th in the world and 1,737^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,470.71 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
