The Eternal Flame of Chipoli is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Volodymyr Zinchenko with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 808 million Chipolians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chipolia. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Chipolian economy, worth 77.5 trillion rupans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,947 rupans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come. 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 dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Chipoli is ranked 74,846^th in the world and 2,878^th in The North Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,327.14 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
