The Dragon Empress's Domain of Yangchenia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Raisa Palikiri Laohi Guul-la with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, lack of airports, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.811 billion Yangchenians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Healthcare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yangchan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.

The all-consuming Yangini economy, worth 496 trillion Yangini Ngultrums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 103,188 Yangini Ngultrums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 717,597 per year while the poor average 5,167, a ratio of 138 to 1.

Yangini TV is considered cruel and unusual punishment in other countries, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and agricultural employees work for peanuts. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yangchenia's national animal is the Fire Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tiamatism-Kungarism-Xanadu Rinchoism.

Yangchenia is ranked 297,430^th in the world and 81^st in Astellaria for Nicest Citizens, with 1.16 average smiles per day.
