The Dragon Tribes of Alexander the Magnus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Great Father with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.399 billion Dręgans 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, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carriag Dun. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Dręgan economy, worth a remarkable 4,451 trillion Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 390,479 Guilders, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,073,299 per year while the poor average 12,303, a ratio of 249 to 1.

The tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Alexander the Magnus's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Arsa Ri Dręgan.

Alexander the Magnus is ranked 82,199th in the world and 61st in Covenant Shores for Most Authoritarian, with 1,130.32 milliStalins.
