The ᴍᴀʀᴄʜɪᴏɴɪx ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ of Old Chimore is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Aristophana with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.477 billion Old Chimoreans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Old Chimorean economy, worth 824 trillion K'ihs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 127,253 K'ihs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 481,882 per year while the poor average 23,354, a ratio of 20.6 to 1.

Contrails and thunderous rumbles have returned to the skies above, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, and Cockroaches are considered a delicacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Chimore's national animal is the Cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Old Chimore is ranked 16,662^nd in the world and 6^th in Merciam for Most Developed, scoring 87.77 on the Human Development Index.
