The Confederacy of Chowan is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 583 million Chowanians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.
The tiny, moralistic, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, although Defense, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.1%.
The very strong Chowanian economy, worth 42.5 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 72,982 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.
Little League matches are often attended by riot police with water cannon... just in case, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, and Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Chowan's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Chowan is ranked 82,269th in the world and 12th in County for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,494.76 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
