The Nomadic Peoples of Chilver is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 3.593 billion Chilverians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Chilverian economy, worth 107 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 29,880 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, disadvantaged neighbourhoods have become no-go areas after sundown, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chilver's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chilver is ranked 138,747^th in the world and 31^st in Swabia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 687.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
