The Constitutional Monarchy of Chithal is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Trahaearn Ceurd with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.615 billion Chithalians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erothi. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Chithalian economy, worth a remarkable 1,984 trillion Shurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,825 Shurs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Chancellor Trahaearn Ceurd, the full title of Hon Chancellor Trahaearn Ceurd Vcte Mgve MF CMCLM GCCE runs to several pages, and leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chithal's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violetism.

Chithal is ranked 234,342^nd in the world and 23^rd in Valaryia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,670.87 Standard Monetary Units.
