The Republic of Chemgota is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Igor Elmpt with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 4.683 billion Chemgotans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magadan. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chemgotan economy, worth 978 trillion Chemgotan Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 208,903 Chemgotan Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chemgotan tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Chemgota's national animal is the Far Eastern Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shamanism.

Chemgota is ranked 12,570^th in the world and 1^st in Siberia for Smartest Citizens, with 82.17 quips per hour.
