The Duchy of Chosin is a titanic, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 15.69 billion Chosinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dawnville. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Chosinian economy, worth a remarkable 4,060 trillion Gram-Silver Equivalents a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 258,821 Gram-Silver Equivalents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and foreign policy is based upon the principle of sieve and take. Crime is totally unknown. Chosin's national animal is the Arctic Hare, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chosin is ranked 4,595^th in the world and 7^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 6,651.11 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
