The Empire of The Mandate of Heaven is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning dragon population. The hard-working, democratic population of 893 million Mandate of Heavenians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.

The thriving Mandate of Heavenian economy, worth 40.1 trillion wéns a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 44,923 wéns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 159,015 per year while the poor average 9,163, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a problem. The Mandate of Heaven's national animal is the dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The Mandate of Heaven is ranked 204,659^th in the world and 5,441^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 6.32 flags saluted per person per day.
