The Queendom of Rain Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.829 billion Dragons 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 8.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Rain Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,211 trillion Dragon Coins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 250,444 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rain Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Rain Dragonia is ranked 150,863rd in the world and 341st in The Rejected Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 757.57 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
