The Parliamentary Republic of Chasia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Calvin Bishop with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 21.017 billion Chasians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seneca. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chasian economy, worth a remarkable 9,103 trillion kronols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 433,159 kronols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. Crime is almost non-existent. Chasia's national animal is the golden masked owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chasia is ranked 282,729^th in the world and 177^th in The Western Isles for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 22.02 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
