The Dangerous Gift of Chipoli is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ilya Romanov with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.487 billion Chipolians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chipolia. The average income tax rate is 76.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chipolian economy, worth 578 trillion rupans a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,477 rupans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It takes a village to catch a criminal, good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, the government subsidizes everything from particle physics to fabric softeners, and there are no more heroes any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chipoli's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Chipoli is ranked 232,255^th in the world and 4,226^th in The North Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,787.32 Standard Monetary Units.
