The Three Islands of Chum Chum is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karkatta-dea Hanolan with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.06 billion Chummies 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chu-aina'oki. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Chum Chumian economy, worth 94.4 trillion Robles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,080 Robles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Chum Chum, tourists call Chum Chumian beach towns "the fine coastline", and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chum Chum's national animal is the Scamper, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chum Chum is ranked 308,055th in the world and 4,068th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -16.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
