The Dragon Empress's Domain of Yangchenia is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Raisa Palikiri Laohi Guul-la with an iron fist, and notable for its digital currency, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 924 million Yangchenians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yangchan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The very strong Yangini economy, worth 61.8 trillion Yangini Ngultrums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 66,884 Yangini Ngultrums, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 415,754 per year while the poor average 4,617, a ratio of 90.0 to 1.

Referenda are banned by law and the Parliament has absolute control of the legislative process, the nation's government buildings are remarkable for being ugly concrete boxes, blind dates tend to result in bruised shins, and supermarkets must refund spoilt milk even six months after the sale. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Yangchenia's national animal is the Fire Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yangchenia is ranked 56,329^th in the world and 32^nd in Aspen for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,425.58 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
