The Democratic Republic of Choppyhausen is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Council of Choppyhausen with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.243 billion Choppyhausenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Choppingen. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Choppyhausenian economy, worth 584 trillion Nuskule ₦s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 180,128 Nuskule ₦s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, there are no more heroes any more, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Choppyhausen's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pancakeism.

Choppyhausen is ranked 317,289^th in the world and 1,652^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
