The Dragon Empire of Elegarth is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Great Wyrm Elegarth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.35 billion Draconians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edge. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Draconic economy, worth a remarkable 3,758 trillion Gold Coins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 204,827 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is cracking down on subversive groups, children often kick Punny Humans for amusement, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and only toddlers and the elderly watch television before 23:00. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Elegarth's national animal is the Punny Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bahamuth Faith.

Elegarth is ranked 37,901^st in the world and 1,565^th in the West Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 55.97 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
