The Queendom of Shadow Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.389 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Shadow Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,936 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 230,817 Dragon Coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shadow Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Shadow Dragonia is ranked 2,410^th in the world and 84^th in The Rejected Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 171,266.64 Standard Monetary Units.
