The Estado of Chalaco is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Governor Orlando Castro with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.318 billion Chalacoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piura. The average income tax rate is 14.2%.

The strong Chalacoan economy, worth 180 trillion sols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 54,483 sols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, an internet search for the word "bland" produces pictures of Governor Orlando Castro, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, and bug burgers are extra crunchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Chalaco's national animal is the alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Chalaco is ranked 97,299^th in the world and 2^nd in Argentina for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 98.99 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
