The Republic of Chihiro is a mammoth, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 5.018 billion Chihiroans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Chihiroan economy, worth 219 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,725 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and a major religion has been named as Chihiro's national religion. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chihiro's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chihiro is ranked 219,385^th in the world and 5^th in five for Highest Average Incomes, with 43,725.66 Standard Monetary Units.
