The Divine Order of Puritan Chasma is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Regent Raider with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.914 billion Puritan Chasmen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sedem Imperium. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Puritan Chasman economy, worth a remarkable 1,640 trillion Thrones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 184,048 Thrones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anyone who sleeps in past 9am can be declared legally dead, government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Lord Regent Raider, popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Puritan Chasma's national animal is the Aquilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Imperial Creed.

Puritan Chasma is ranked 14,822nd in the world and 551st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 103 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
