The Allied States of Chroche is a massive, genial nation, notable for its national health service, flagrant waste-dumping, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.136 billion Chrocheans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chrochean economy, worth 356 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 166,885 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row, Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, all footpaths have tollbooths, and children and steel are ubiquitous features of the nethermost depths of Chroche. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chroche's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chroche is ranked 201,776^th in the world and 410^th in Europeia for Largest Populations, with 2.14 billion capita.
