The Confederacy of Dragon Horde is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 180 million Dragon Hordeans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 36.3%.
The Dragon Hordean economy, worth 10.7 trillion Pizzas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,249 Pizzas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.
All footpaths have tollbooths, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dragon Horde's national animal is the Guardians of the Galaxy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
