The Empire of DragonReach is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gorkan Hawke with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, soft-spoken computers, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.042 billion DragonReachians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mouth of Dragon. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient DragonReachian economy, worth a remarkable 3,301 trillion Levs 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 major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 235,119 Levs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, the nation is automatically assumed to be the source of all unmarked weapons, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and political commentators say that Gorkan Hawke's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DragonReach's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

DragonReach is ranked 17,260^th in the world and 791^st in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
