The ᴍᴀʀᴄʜɪᴏɴɪx ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ of Old Chimore is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Aristophana with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, ban on automobiles, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.666 billion Old Chimoreans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Old Chimorean economy, worth 898 trillion K'ihs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 134,733 K'ihs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation forgives those who are big enough to admit they made a mistake, decades-serving politicians are now both out of touch and out of time, election officials are delivered in 30 minutes or money back, and it turns out that trees grow on K'ihs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old Chimore's national animal is the Cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Old Chimore is ranked 42,671^st in the world and 8^th in Merciam for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 3,423.75 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
