The Empire of Drakonica is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.279 billion Drakonicans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taoulaurix. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.0%.

The all-consuming Drakonican economy, worth 102 trillion Drakoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,231 Drakoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", the nation's iron imports are booming, and disgruntled jocks are forced to play tetris for entertainment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Drakonica's national animal is the Red Crested Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Drakonica is ranked 80,913^th in the world and 1,608^th in The East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 47,336.32 Standard Monetary Units.
