The Queendom of Swamp Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, enslaved workforce, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.305 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Swamp Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,510 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 common. Average income is an amazing 239,533 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.
Swamp Dragonia has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, and children as young as six shock their parents by coming out of the closet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swamp Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Swamp Dragonia is ranked 7,264th in the world and 169th in The Rejected Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
