The Empire of The Nuclear Dragon is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 8.151 billion Nuclear Dragonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tartarus. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Nuclear Dragonian economy, worth 701 trillion scales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,114 scales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, artists are pillars of society, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Nuclear Dragon's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Nuclear Dragon is ranked 16,291^st in the world and 515^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,149.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
