The Queendom of North Wind Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.35 billion Dragons are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 7.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient North Wind Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,808 trillion Dragon 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. 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 amazing 246,087 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, edutainment video games are taking North Wind Dragonia's students to the next level, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and the overhead luggage compartment is often full. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Wind Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
North Wind Dragonia is ranked 21,169th in the world and 44th in The Rejected Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 113.44 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
