The Gluttonous Dragon of Relaxaurus is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its closed borders, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.266 billion Relaxaurusians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.9%.

The thriving Relaxaurusian economy, worth 359 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,359 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Domestic fishermen fly the Relaxaurusian flag out of fear of being blown up, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Relaxaurus's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Relaxaurus is ranked 231,568^th in the world and 6^th in The Potato Union for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
