The Disputed Territories of The White Dragon Noodle Bar is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory gun ownership, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.956 billion White Dragon Noodle Barians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.
The frighteningly efficient White Dragon Noodle Barian economy, worth 550 trillion noodle bowls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 111,086 noodle bowls, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 590,754 per year while the poor average 11,016, a ratio of 53.6 to 1.
Terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and playing an online nation simulation game legally obliges you to buy the creator's latest novel. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. The White Dragon Noodle Bar's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
The White Dragon Noodle Bar is ranked 5,745th in the world and 19th in Wysteria for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 10,174.32 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
