The Queendom of Mist Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.22 billion Mist Dragonians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 39.3%.
The frighteningly efficient Mist Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 225,613 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
Drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", cities in Mist Dragonia declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Mist Dragonian beaches, and brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mist Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Mist Dragonia is ranked 6,158th in the world and 130th in The Rejected Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
