The Parliamentary Republic of Chasia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Calvin Bishop with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.806 billion Chasians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seneca. The average income tax rate is 9.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chasian economy, worth a remarkable 7,230 trillion kronols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 430,218 kronols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, money grows on trees, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime is totally unknown. Chasia's national animal is the golden masked owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chasia is ranked 168,037^th in the world and 119^th in The Western Isles for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.64 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
