The Dragon Empress's Domain of Yangchenia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Raisa Palikiri Laohi Guul-la with an iron fist, and remarkable for its lack of airports, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.961 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, with Industry, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, 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 8.4%.

The all-consuming Yangini economy, worth 512 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 103,189 Yangini Ngultrums, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 717,608 per year while the poor average 5,168, 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 moderate, 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 264,378^th in the world and 65^th in Astellaria for Smartest Citizens, with 20.02 quips per hour.
