The Democratic Thalassocracy of DragonKhorse is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Melusine with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, soft-spoken computers, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10.806 billion Khorseans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sunda. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Khorsean economy, worth a remarkable 2,307 trillion Khorsean rupiyas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 213,499 Khorsean rupiyas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, and dictionary sales have hit an all-time high. Crime is totally unknown. DragonKhorse's national animal is the Nagato Dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violet Order of the Simurgh.

DragonKhorse is ranked 2,154^th in the world and 88^th in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 178.19 quips per hour.
