The Republic of Insomniac Dragon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.745 billion Insomniac Dragonians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.5%.

The thriving Insomniac Dragonian economy, worth 880 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,067 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 199,058 per year while the poor average 19,028, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, beavers with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Insomniac Dragon's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Insomniac Dragon is ranked 24,812th in the world and 3rd in Bigtopia for Safest, scoring 111.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
