“Always speak politely to an enraged dragon”

The Draconic Fury of Si-topia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Si with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.51 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 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Si-topian economy, worth a remarkable 1,452 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,751 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, and cheating spouses are required to undergo job training. 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 9,825^th in the world and 320^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,936.74 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
