Location: A Modern World

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Chrinthania is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Taylor Ellison with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.236 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Defence and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denver. The average income tax rate is 31%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Cheese Exports.

The state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, abortions are routinely performed in Chrinthania's hospitals, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime is moderate. Chrinthania's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is hogwash, and its currency is the Dollar.

Chrinthania is ranked 26th in A Modern World and 88,017th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
