The Queendom of Variant Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.103 billion Dragons 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Variant Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,806 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 254,394 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Variant Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Variant Dragonia is ranked 5,223rd in the world and 80th in The Rejected Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 115.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
