The Empire of China Growth is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, avant-garde cinema, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.877 billion China Growthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beijing Metroplex. The average income tax rate is 42.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming China Growthian economy, worth 807 trillion yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,920 yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Signs of extraterrestrial life are just foreign astronauts evading China Growthian justice, voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, in distant lands the nation is known as a lovely place that was even better in the good old days, and even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. China Growth's national animal is the golden panda coin, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

China Growth is ranked 55,050^th in the world and 1^st in Yertania City for Most Conservative, scoring 75.75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
