The Empire of Outpost Dragon is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.406 billion Outpost Dragonians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.4%.

The all-consuming Outpost Dragonian economy, worth 740 trillion Golds 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 137,061 Golds, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The breathalyser pledge is a traditional part of marriages in Outpost Dragon, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", Outpost Dragon City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and everyone has the equal opportunity to have their wallet stolen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outpost Dragon's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
