Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Island of Chiloe is a gargantuan, devout nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.269 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. 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.

Graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, large areas of Chiloe are not accessible by the public, artists are pillars of society, and naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chiloe's national animal is the Le Trauco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Peso.

Chiloe is ranked 30th in Ireland and 93,182nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
