The Republic of Chitinsky is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and lack of airports. The compassionate, devout population of 519 million Chitinskyians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The very strong Chitinskyian economy, worth 30.4 trillion Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,553 Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 174,357 per year while the poor average 15,407, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chitinsky's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chitinsky is ranked 246,349^th in the world and 882^nd in Novaya Zemlya for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 108.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
