Location: The Sith World Assembly

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of The Sith Dragon Lords is a huge, economically powerful nation, ruled by Sith Lord Vath I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its compassionate, cynical population of 889 million are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garang City. The average income tax rate is 89%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Gambling.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, the government has become increasingly militant, and Sith Lord Vath I has just been declared ruler of The Sith Dragon Lords in an international press conference. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sith Dragon Lords's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Piece of Eight.

The Sith Dragon Lords is ranked 5th in The Sith World Assembly and 84,471st in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -19 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
