The Queendom of Bird Dragonia is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.328 billion Bird Dragonians 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."
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 27.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Bird Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,678 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 265,237 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
