The Queendom of Platinum Dragonia is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.31 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Platinum Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,479 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 298,348 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.
Government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, and if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Platinum Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Platinum Dragonia is ranked 40,698th in the world and 80th in The Rejected Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,106.1293962434 days.
