The Empire of CHAOS EMPIRE is a huge, genial nation, ruled by mark charin with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 778 million CHAOS PEOS have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of KPN. The average income tax rate is 43.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming CHAOS EMPIREian economy, worth 74.1 trillion CHAOS MONEY 2dollers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,184 CHAOS MONEY 2dollers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the KPN Natural History Museum, modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CHAOS EMPIRE's national animal is the DRAGON.

CHAOS EMPIRE is ranked 44,640^th in the world and 9^th in THE W0RLD for Safest, scoring 104.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
