The Free Land of Chip 4 is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 504 million Chip 4ians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.7%.

The strong Chip 4ian economy, worth 26.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,662 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 163,544 per year while the poor average 12,451, a ratio of 13.1 to 1.

Thrift shops are closing their doors, programmers often reinvent the wheel, nobody draws smiley faces on receipts anymore, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chip 4's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chip 4 is ranked 241,084^th in the world and 12,996^th in Lazarus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -5.57 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
