The Republic of Chobioque is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Annemarie Davis with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.428 billion Chobioquians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 8.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Chobioquian economy, worth 468 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 86,265 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, voting is compulsory, and it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Chobioque's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Christianity.

Chobioque is ranked 110,996^th in the world and 349^th in the Outback for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.25 percentage of bribes refused.
