The Imperial Elegarthan Dragon of Raegarth the Conqueror is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.658 billion Draconians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 93.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Raegarth the Conquerorian economy, worth a remarkable 4,303 trillion Gold Coins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,722 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, dessert dishes make up the Raegarth the Conquerorian breakfast menu, pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, and economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Raegarth the Conqueror's national animal is the Black Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Raegarth the Conqueror is ranked 6,150th in the world and 3rd in House Elegarth for Most Corrupt Governments, with 201.28 kickbacks per hour.
