The Democratic Socialists of Chivka is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.206 billion Chivkans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chivka City. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The all-consuming Chivkan economy, worth a remarkable 2,068 trillion Simoleons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 107,688 Simoleons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chivka's national animal is the Mammoth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chivka is ranked 14,831^st in the world and 29^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
