The Free Land of Chitato XXIII is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 8.14 billion Chitato XXIIIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.7%.
The strong Chitato XXIIIian economy, worth 315 trillion carrots a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 38,711 carrots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.
Teddy bears and pajamas have replaced briefcases and suits in Chitato XXIII's offices, it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets, children play ring-around-the-rosey around bonfires of videogame cartridges, and prisoners regularly escape detention posing as scarecrows. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chitato XXIII's national animal is the bunny, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Chitato XXIII is ranked 210,643rd in the world and 168th in Resuscitation for Most Patriotic, with 5.74 flags saluted per person per day.
