describes legislation, laws, or policies, that are excessively harsh and severe, which are often dictated upon without, or out of proportion, to evidence basis. It can sometimes be misread as "dragon coin" among members of the Super Mario World community. The term originated from the Ancient Greece legislator of Athens, Draco, also called Drako or Drakon, not to be confused with British pure-blood wizard, Draco Malfoy.
