The Conservation Officer of Chodean Kal is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Markus Briand with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 35.175 billion Chodeani are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Healthcare, with Industry, Environment, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Chodeani economy, worth a remarkable 2,459 trillion FS Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 69,910 FS Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Saint Andreisburg, demolition derbies mostly consist of bicycles crashing into each other, songs of praise to Marshal Markus Briand are filled with coded messages from the resistance, and veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chodean Kal's national animal is the Libreagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dalism.

Chodean Kal is ranked 299,609th in the world and 1,718th in the Outback for Fattest Citizens, with 4.64 Obesity Rate.
