The Republic of Chilonatalus micropus is a very large, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 211 million Chilonatalus micropusians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 14.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Chilonatalus micropusian economy, worth 14.5 trillion Bats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,546 Bats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

It isn't a secret plot without caviar and foie gras, the tobacco industry has burnt out, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and the government's official position on invasive species is 'who cares?'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Chilonatalus micropus's national animal is the Bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Chilonatalus micropus is ranked 105,145th in the world and 343rd in bat for Highest Average Incomes, with 68,546.73 Standard Monetary Units.
