The Grand Monarchy of United Draconia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Robert Buckingham with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.263 billion Draconian's are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laconia. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient United Draconian economy, worth 827 trillion Emeralds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 157,218 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Draconia's national animal is the White Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Zen.

United Draconia is ranked 215,959^th in the world and 9,788^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -332.95 on the Hayek Index.
