The People's Republic of West Chanchajilla is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Frederick Armbar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.42 billion West Chanchajillans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ivora. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient West Chanchajillan economy, worth 352 trillion dimoes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 47,479 dimoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, patriotic citizens chant "there's only one West Chanchajilla" at foreigners, the end of communism came with retail rather than revolution, and religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West Chanchajilla's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

West Chanchajilla is ranked 68,957^th in the world and 27^th in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
