The United Kingdom of Chakara is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and conspicuous electricity pylons. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.375 billion Chakarans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chakara City. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Chakaran economy, worth 443 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 131,423 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, graverobbers claim they're acting within the interest of 'scientific preservation', lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', and the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chakara's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chakara is ranked 15,817^th in the world and 305^th in The East Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 81.13 Effective Tax Rate.
