The ᴍᴀʀᴄʜɪᴏɴɪx ꜱɪʟᴠᴇʀ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ of Old Chimore is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Aristophana with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.577 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Old Chimorean economy, worth 875 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 Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 133,050 K'ihs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and the Old Chimore City State Museum is said to be haunted by ghastly musicians playing 'Nearer Violet to Thee'. 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 186,779^th in the world and 20^th in Merciam for Largest Black Market, with 608 billion Standard Monetary Units.
