The Imperial Elegarthan Dragon of Deslim the Recruiter is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Deslim of House Elegarth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.995 billion Deslim the Recruiterians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Deslim the Recruiterian economy, worth a remarkable 3,070 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 146,253 Gold Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 505,216 per year while the poor average 30,964, a ratio of 16.3 to 1.

Pirates armed with sonar-guided semi-autonomous torpedos and laser weapons systems are often seen capturing fishing trawlers, Deslim of House Elegarth's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Deslim the Recruiter's national animal is the Black Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Deslim the Recruiter is ranked 36,317^th in the world and 7^th in House Elegarth for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
