The Rogue Nation of Draconian Free Territory is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.49 billion Draconians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lerna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.2%.

The all-consuming Draconian economy, worth 392 trillion Dracos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,541 Dracos, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens praise the weeds that overwhelm their narrow vegetable realm, Dragon-wagons to Lerna are often canceled due to excessive levels of manure on the roads, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, and middle management darts to the playground after board meetings. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Draconian Free Territory's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Draconian Free Territory is ranked 69,772nd in the world and 5th in Lair of the Dragon for Most Developed, scoring 70.73 on the Human Development Index.
