The Queendom of Envy Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.256 billion Envy Dragonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Envy Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,154 trillion Dragon 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 219,685 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, the latest guided missile cruiser "Ship-1642" has received precisely zero column inches in the press, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and Envy Dragonia Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Envy Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Envy Dragonia is ranked 279,337th in the world and 417th in The Rejected Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -331.39 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
