The Republic of Yinglong is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jia with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 23.208 billion Yinglongese are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yìngjing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Yinglongese economy, worth a remarkable 4,011 trillion Renminbis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 172,842 Renminbis, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 600,164 per year while the poor average 36,307, a ratio of 16.5 to 1.

Luxury condos have arisen from the ashes of demolished houses of worship, dad jokes are banned for being too cheesy, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Yinglong's high-security cell blocks, and heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Renminbi treacle machine. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yinglong's national animal is the Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Religions of Wisdom.

Yinglong is ranked 318,765^th in the world and 28^th in China for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
