The Empire of Dragonisia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Maelstrom Vortex with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 20.123 billion Dragonisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragonisia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Dragonisian economy, worth a remarkable 4,985 trillion Talons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 247,766 Talons, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.
The nation has declared its intention to "stretch out", nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, the government is attempting to revitalize a gutted private sector, and chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragonisia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is pantheon of Drulkar Bahamut and Tiamat.
Dragonisia is ranked 27,007th in the world and 5th in The Empire of Draconic States for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,046.16 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
