The Desolation of Sleeping Smaug is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 20.634 billion dragons live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Sleeping Smaugian economy, worth 995 trillion gold coins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 48,250 gold coins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 310,975 per year while the poor average 3,024, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sleeping Smaug's national animal is the hobbit, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sleeping Smaug is ranked 87,292^nd in the world and 1^st in Lonely Mountain for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 45,451.55 Standard Monetary Units.
