The Cheesy Republic of Cliyf Drines is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Elder Putz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, lack of airports, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.658 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 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cliyf Drinesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 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 133,359 Canadian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bad punctuation has come to a full stop, the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, the official Cliyf Drinesian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and apprentice builders get teased for wearing hard hats. 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 221,449^th in the world and 90^th in Canada for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 25,071.51 Standard Monetary Units.
