The Commonwealth Empire of Chiolena is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Emperor Constantius IV with an even hand, and remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.063 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Education, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chioganah City. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Airship use has soared while property values beneath their routes have plummeted, all streets are privately owned toll roads, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chiolena's national animal is the coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the khanic.

Chiolena is ranked 503rd in Europe and 126,093rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
