Second Dragonia

The Republic of Second Dragonia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and ubiquitous missile silos. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.636 billion Second Dragonians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Second Dragonian economy, worth 646 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,782 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, all children's clothes come in only cream and off-white to prevent offense, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, and pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Second Dragonia is ranked 259,768th in the world and 250th in The Rejected Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 53.16 Workforce Participation Rate.
