The Empire of Drakonica is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.307 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taoulaurix. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.6%.
The all-consuming Drakonican economy, worth 109 trillion Drakoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,083 Drakoes, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.
The statue in the McDuck Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, citizens compete to guess the time between the royal lady's contractions, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. 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 22,811th in the world and 337th in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,882.66 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
