The ᴍᴀʀᴄʜɪᴏɴɪx ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ of Old Chimore is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Aristophana with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.565 billion Old Chimoreans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Old Chimorean economy, worth 863 trillion K'ihs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 131,466 K'ihs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation proudly hosts OstraCon to decide who gets free vacations to the Brancaland tundra, Old Chimoreans are shown the peaceful ways of free trade by force, those who sing the national anthem off-key have the key thrown away, and elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Chimore's national animal is the Cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Old Chimore is ranked 94,588^th in the world and 10^th in Merciam for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,462.12 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
