The Nomadic Peoples of Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Lang Lee with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 1.311 billion Hongkongers are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hong Kong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Hongkonger economy, worth 140 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 107,162 Yuan, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 436,258 per year while the poor average 17,475, a ratio of 25.0 to 1.

Boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers', the nation's arms dealers guarantee discretion and untraceable transactions, bars are packed at all hours, and the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education. Crime is a serious problem. Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon's national animal is the Tiger Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Taoism.

Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon is ranked 52,020^th in the world and 8^th in Trading Cards for Highest Average Incomes, with 107,162.61 Standard Monetary Units.
