Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Holy Red Excellence of ChasingLola is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by NKBlue with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.994 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NKBlue City. The average income tax rate is 75%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer stangias to support the Tourism industry, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and ChasingLola-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ChasingLola's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the stangia.

ChasingLola is ranked 214th in Taijitu and 101,300th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
