Location: A Socialist Paradise

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Utopian Islands of Chazzistan is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.66 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chazzik. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Religious figures have been banned from public holidays to make them more multicultural, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is totally unknown. Chazzistan's national animal is the fuzzy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the chazzistanian dollar.

Chazzistan is ranked 12th in A Socialist Paradise and 101,606th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -26 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
