The Dux Headquarters of Annihilators of Chan Island is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Nickolas Spitzberg with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ritual sacrifices, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.914 billion Annihilators are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Access Denied. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.6%.

The all-consuming Annihilators of Chan Islandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,801 trillion Shiny Things a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 133,935 Shiny Things, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 706,646 per year while the poor average 13,504, a ratio of 52.3 to 1.

Annihilators of Chan Island isn't what it used to be, foreign leaders with unpaid parking tickets are often refused entry, the term "Native Annihilator" has been redefined as anyone with the same skin color as the majority, and wheelchair-enabled paratroopers need access ramps to get onto planes but not off them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Annihilators of Chan Island's national animal is the Axe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the Great Hatred.

Annihilators of Chan Island is ranked 333,424th in the world and 910th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -24.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
