The Dictatorship of Chovadaris is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 189 million Chovadarisians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.3%.

The strong Chovadarisian economy, worth 10.4 trillion Badlands Credits a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 54,859 Badlands Credits, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, government employees cannot vote for the policies they have to implement, and it's always rabbit season. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chovadaris's national animal is the Hyena, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chovadaris is ranked 31,489^th in the world and 20^th in Aspen for Most Secular, with 34.67 Atheism Rate.
