The Queendom of Nickel Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, ritual sacrifices, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.42 billion Dragons 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Nickel Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 219,738 Dragon Coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 680,578 per year while the poor average 54,661, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

The homeless more often beg for mercy than money, washing-up liquid looks and smells like baby poo, black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation, and minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nickel Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nickel Dragonia is ranked 55,170^th in the world and 334^th in The Rejected Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 663.94 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
