The Queendom of Platinum Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.413 billion Dragons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 77.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Platinum Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,534 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 301,257 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.
Police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Platinum Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Platinum Dragonia is ranked 4,168th in the world and 24th in The Rejected Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 120.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
