The Queendom of Calcium Dragonia is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, compulsory military service, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.188 billion Dragons are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Calcium Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,590 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 257,090 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
The government is reining in public spending, litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Calcium Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Calcium Dragonia is ranked 42,004th in the world and 140th in The Rejected Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,051.12521616832 days.
