The Federal Republic of CHTR is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.481 billion CHTRians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.6%.

The powerhouse CHTRian economy, worth 409 trillion CHTR Shareses a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,782 CHTR Shareses, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 154,639 per year while the poor average 15,535, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The government has strong opinions about what goes into your bodily orifices, every week is blindness awareness week, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, and eating kids as food has been enshrined in law. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. CHTR's national animal is the turtle.

CHTR is ranked 269,416^th in the world and 13^th in NYSE for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
