The Queendom of Chocolate Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.142 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chocolate Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,139 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 262,825 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chocolate Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chocolate Dragonia is ranked 86,607th in the world and 465th in The Rejected Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,951.27 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
