The Republic of Chongqing Matheo is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.862 billion Chongqing Matheoans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The strong Chongqing Matheoan economy, worth 202 trillion guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 52,501 guilders, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 338,374 per year while the poor average 3,291, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chongqing Matheo's national animal is the squirrel, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Chongqing Matheo is ranked 270,324^th in the world and 9,849^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 7.3 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
