I am in possession of a nation state:
The Queendom of Ragnhildia is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning dragon population. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 5 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — devotes most of its attentions to Law & Order, with areas such as Social Welfare and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 40%, but much higher for the wealthy. A very small private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Ragnhildia’s national animal is the dragon, which frolics freely in the nation’s many lush forests, and its currency is the dragon.
Lets see how this develops. What I’d like to know, though, is how they “knew” that that bit about Book Publishing would please me.
