The Commonwealth of Chasevia is a large, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 121 million Chasevians 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Chasevian economy, worth 5.50 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 45,484 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chasevia recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, a stocking with a crooked seam or a tie without a full Windsor knot are grounds for instant dismissal, intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, and all guns must be registered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chasevia's national animal is the great blue heron, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chasevia is ranked 98,152^nd in the world and 6^th in Waldenia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 182.02 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
