The Empire of Chazcam is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor ChazDaPawMan with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 917 million Chazites 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."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frankworth. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 38.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Chazcamian economy, worth 105 trillion Lego studs a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,436 Lego studs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 479,670 per year while the poor average 18,186, a ratio of 26.4 to 1.

Public urination is on the increase, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chazcam's national animal is the Half octopus-eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Chazcam is ranked 201,745th in the world and 21st in The Axis of Evil for Largest Populations, with 917 million capita.
