The Democratic Republic of Chaopia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 34.849 billion Chaopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chaopia City. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chaopian economy, worth a remarkable 5,917 trillion merls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 169,813 merls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, you can touch grass without leaving your computer, the real art was the AI friends we made along the way, and frequent flyers are chiseled into statues. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chaopia's national animal is the emperor penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Chaopia is ranked 60,753^rd in the world and 2^nd in Discworld for Highest Drug Use, scoring 257.31 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
