The Queendom of Spider Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, smutty television, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.199 billion Spider Dragonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Spider Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,151 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 221,450 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spider Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Spider Dragonia is ranked 7,961st in the world and 204th in The Rejected Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 105.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
