The Nine-Tailed Anarchist Realm of The Draconic Islands is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Thycal with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.053 billion Kitsunes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kitsokyo. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nine-Tailed economy, worth 634 trillion Kitsune Stars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 156,512 Kitsune Stars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Thycal lives life on the open road - complete with groupies, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime is totally unknown. The Draconic Islands's national animal is the Phoenix Fire Valstrax, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Solism.

The Draconic Islands is ranked 98,903rd in the world and 17th in 001 Alpha Prime for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 65.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
