The Queendom of Tangerine Dragonia is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.986 billion Dragons are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Tangerine Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,871 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 a large, well-organized 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 234,299 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.
Tangerine Dragonian police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Tangerine Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Tangerine Dragonia is ranked 10,911th in the world and 315th in The Rejected Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.46 law-abiding acts per hour.
