Name: The Confederate Draconian Empire Alias/Abbreviation: The CDE, or the "Confederates" Nation Specie{s}: Draconians
Draconians are human height, varying between five and a half feet tall to a full seven foot. However, if they were to extend their bodies to be as long as possible, many of them could get up to twelve feet- Draconians have thick tails, and their head is at the end of a relatively long, thick neck. As a result, Draconians are heavy creatures, who do not fight well in cramped spaces, nor can they stop very quickly. They are, however, prime examples of an apex predator- they are intelligent, cunning creatures armed with claws that can extend in and out of their hands and feet at will, who can be particularly fast in a straight line, or whenever the environment give them places to push off of for quick redirection. Muscle is also a primary part of their mass- their arms and legs are notably larger than a human's. To make up for all these things, a Draconians' nostrils are quite wide, and their lungs extend all along their spine in their back- hitting just beside the spine will often stun a Draconian, because it messes up their respiratory system.
In coloring, Draconians are often gray, dark gray, silver, or a very light gray/silvery blue. Females are notably more angular and striking, with an also notable size- while being the same height, they are often more willowy compared to a male, being faster but not quite as powerful. Females are generally rare for an outsider to see; if one sees a female on the front lines, and not being beaten on by the other Draconians, one should be scared.
Nation Population: Somewhere in the 35 billion range, with 5 billion of that being active military marines, navy, or otherwise.
(Civilian Numbers/Commercial Numbers/Military Numbers, everything that has full crew quarters and etc., excluding fighters, barges, etc.)
Nation Focus: Military, Military Research, and the Sanctum
Weapons: Heavy focus on KINETIC weapons, specifically MISSILES and faster-firing RAILGUNS. Shield Type: Primarily focused on ENERGY shields Armor Type: Primarily ARMORLESS, or with REACTIVE armor. Bonus Type: Antimatter/darkmatter engineering/mechanics
Weapon Tech Level: Standard Shield Tech Level: Superior Armor Tech Level: Standard
Nation Government: Militaristic Demo-totalarism. The majority of the nation is military, and all citizens can put a vote towards one of five candidates every ten years, or earlier if there's a large enough majority. Among officers and above, reasons explaining why certain operations are carried through are often released.
Nation Economy: Very restricted command economy. Draconian currency is only useful at the government/military controlled stores, so it's worthless to unregistered outsiders.
Active Military Percentage: 14%
Draconian Spaceborne Navy The DSBN is the spaceships of the nation- and almost all ships are fast, maneuverable, relatively easily manufactured ships that use modular designs. Although all ships could technically be outfitted with every gun, armor type, and shield in the Draconian nation, they are generally more lightly armored in advanced REACTIVE ARMOR, with superior ENERGY SHIELDS supported by lighter ENVIRONMENTAL SHIELDS providing additional support. Ship designs are often hexagonal in shape, and support full 360-degree protection and armament.

Draconian Infantry and Armored The Draconian military is the entire nation's pride and joy- everyone serves, and anyone who doesn't loses all respect. As such, there is always a very large percentage of the nation in the active duty military at one time, which also takes care of the majority of government-sanctioned activities. Mining, manufacturing, shipping, and construction are all directly taken care of by the military, while farming, mass production, and etc. are taken care of retired or inactive soldiers- generally, four cycles of service are required before one can get out of the military and take on a different job, full time.
Draconian Infantry have three branches: Army, Operations & Intelligence (Inter-military branch, in the Navy too), and the Airborne. The Army, of course, consists of the regular soldiers and armored; they are the primary branch. Following that is Confederate Operations & Intelligence, or COI. These are like Halo's ONI- spooks, smart, scary, et cetera. Last but not least, the Airborne are the elite troopers, as well as the air force- these are the atmospheric pilots and the rangers and the specops.
Victory! New guns! Beating a rival platoon, company, or battalion in some exercise! Literally beating said rival!
Draconians are a very open race, in terms of celebration. Anything from one's birthday to one's first kill to the first time someone lost their arm, they'll drink to it. Of course, this means that Draconians occasionally get out of hand- but their fellows usually keep them in line. Draconian commanders demand absolute control and obedience when duty calls, and the Draconians will oblige- but many ships spend months, if not years, away from port and shore leave, and so the strict military regulations are often lax when in peacetime.
Draconians often celebrate with great creatures that were cooked alive, tenderized and then seasoned liberally. Generally, the Draconians love their food, and love cooking their food. They’ll also take any excuse to celebrate, to celebrate, as long as an officer doesn’t step in and tell them to stand down.
Nation Economy Description: It's a command economy. It's set in stone, and very little imported goods are up for sale. Things are as they have usually been- the only thing that's flourishing is the makeshift breweries in hidden parts of ships.
National Figures: To be filled out as I make the characters up.

If there's anything wrong (I wrote it like a week ago, and have been going back and fixing it lately), lemme know.
That's a lot of money for aaall your ships, and Ryukyu can charge anything. I mean hell, I bought them from the black-market, and I only have like 100 Mammoth's
I think we're gonna go with reasonable pricing, plus a bit of discount because a Minor gets ahold of Major political support.
I'll refrain from speculation or plotting until all of the GMs have posted their nation sheets, but I am open to inquiry and general discussion regarding them.
Sorreh Currently working on my nation's ships. And that's it.
I'm assuming that the Draconians have purchased or ordered MACs for their cruisers, since most of their cruisers are armed with MACs.
