The Legendary Silver Dragon of East Chimore is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Aristophana with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.851 billion East Chimoreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paartadam. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient East Chimorean economy, worth a remarkable 2,078 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 quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 234,794 K'ihs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Aristophana, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Chimore's national animal is the Cockroach, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Chimore is ranked 1,937^th in the world and 2^nd in Lair of the Dragon for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 13,390.72 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
