The Protectorate of The Dragonhorde is a massive, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 3.264 billion citizens are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish hordeborn economy, worth 67.5 trillion promises a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,665 promises, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. The Dragonhorde's national animal is the dragon.

The Dragonhorde is ranked 142,356^th in the world and 5,689^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 3.26 billion capita.
