The Republic of Chip XXII is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 466 million Chip XXIIians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.5%.

The strong Chip XXIIian economy, worth 22.3 trillion cards a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 47,876 cards, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,964 per year while the poor average 4,430, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, Harry Potter books are banned, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a problem. Chip XXII's national animal is the farmer.

Chip XXII is ranked 273,150^th in the world and 14,816^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 466 million capita.
