The Republic of Chudovsky District is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, devout population of 643 million Chudovsky Districtians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Chudovsky Districtian economy, worth 40.0 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 62,211 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chudovsky District's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chudovsky District is ranked 294,930^th in the world and 567^th in Novaya Zemlya for Highest Drug Use, scoring 20.24 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
