The Republic of Draconias is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Mark with an even hand, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.914 billion Draconians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schanerville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.7%.

The powerhouse Draconian economy, worth 758 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 85,109 coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Economists claim no news is good news, residents of ageing concrete tower blocks have vital renovation work stopped by Brutalism enthusiasts, Draconias Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', and rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Draconias's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Magic.

Draconias is ranked 32,620^th in the world and 1^st in Draco Imperialis for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,534.38 Standard Monetary Units.
