The Republic of Chavante is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Galvan with an even hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.668 billion Chavanteans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chacarrama. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Chavantean economy, worth a remarkable 2,030 trillion Medals a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 264,800 Medals, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,238,824 per year while the poor average 33,813, a ratio of 36.6 to 1.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, electrocution deaths among computer technicians are at an all-time high, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. Chavante's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is All religion.

Chavante is ranked 46,813^th in the world and 22^nd in Selene for Highest Poor Incomes, with 33,813.73 Standard Monetary Units.
