“It's big and it flies, enough said”

The Fire Breath of Shivan Dragon is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by MrDragon with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 35.486 billion Shivan Dragonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DragonCity. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Shivan Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,223 trillion fireballs a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,018 fireballs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners due for execution often use their final statement to complain about soggy bread rolls, ancestry test results arrive bundled with patent applications, MrDragon will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shivan Dragon's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Shivan Dragon is ranked 12,052^nd in the world and 68^th in Nederland for Most Corrupt Governments, with 139.05 kickbacks per hour.
