The Democratic Republic of West Chiaz is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Ïdi Yannover with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.581 billion West Chiazis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chiabakk. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving West Chiazian economy, worth 325 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,858 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, and scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Chiaz's national animal is the Heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

West Chiaz is ranked 23,599^th in the world and 15^th in Ridgefield for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
