The United Syndicate Communities of Tchiakov is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 2.103 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 Social Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krashna. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, and all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society. Crime is totally unknown. Tchiakov's national animal is the Grufallow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Ego.

Tchiakov is ranked 1,901st in 10000 Islands and 95,806th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -27 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
