The Conservation Officer of Chodean Kal is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Markus Briand with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.157 billion Chodeani are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — prioritizes Healthcare, although Defense, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Chodeani economy, worth a remarkable 1,673 trillion FS Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,055 FS Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, no one engages in 'locker room talk' any more, cubicles often double as graves as citizens literally work themselves to death, and Chodeani tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chodean Kal's national animal is the Libreagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dalism.

Chodean Kal is ranked 270,141^st in the world and 3,334^th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
