The Empire of Chaldea is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working population of 6.566 billion Chaldeans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The very strong Chaldean economy, worth 460 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 70,159 coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 214,323 per year while the poor average 17,801, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chaldea's national animal is the falcon.

Chaldea is ranked 65,818^th in the world and 61^st in Eurth for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,172.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
