The Jingoistic States of Chartistan is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and state-planned economy. The democratic population of 3.769 billion Chartistanis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Chartistanian economy, worth 116 trillion Charts 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. 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 30,868 Charts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Chartistan's national animal is the Drake.

Chartistan is ranked 160,091^st in the world and 14^th in Sonnel for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
