Melon Dragonia

The Queendom of Melon Dragonia is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.846 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Melon Dragonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,373 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, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 302,518 Dragon Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners work-share to cut down rising costs of keeping them in jail, people who tease dwarfs are being cut down to size, exported livestock are wined and dined before they are flat ironed, and 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melon Dragonia's national animal is the Valkyria, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Melon Dragonia is ranked 40,681st in the world and 63rd in The Rejected Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,106.1301254096 days.
