“Always speak politely to an enraged dragon”

The Draconic Fury of Si-topia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Si with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.932 billion Dragons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragonspire. The average income tax rate is 91.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Si-topian economy, worth a remarkable 1,494 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 150,464 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was "Pragmatism", there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Si-topia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Si-topia is ranked 207,499^th in the world and 6,725^th in the South Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.51 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
