The Democratic States of Artificial Chimore System is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.179 billion Artificial Chimore Systemians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Artificial Chimore Systemian economy, worth a remarkable 1,078 trillion Freedom Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 150,167 Freedom Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The house always wins, the Not a Tax Haven Foundation is the most popular charity, snowball fights inaugurate summer breaks, and the dictionary is a common first book for children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Artificial Chimore System's national animal is the Democrat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Artificial Chimore System is ranked 306,146^th in the world and 615^th in Lair of the Dragons for Nicest Citizens, with 0.85 average smiles per day.
