“Make tea not war.”

The Decapodian Dictatorship of The Dracion Islands is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Glorious Zoidberg with an iron fist, and notable for its suspicion of poets. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.192 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of DRACONIA. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry.

Loans are available for students from poor families, children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. The Dracion Islands's national animal is the innocent bystander, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the cabbage.

The Dracion Islands is ranked 3rd in the region and 13,790th in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.
