The Queendom of Carbon Dragonia

“Glory to dragonkind”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Queendom of Carbon Dragonia is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.386 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 61.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Carbon Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,843 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 288,746 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, lending money has become a major liability, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, and wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carbon Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Carbon Dragonia is ranked 21,317^th in the world and 57^th in The Rejected Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 989.7 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
