The European Federation of Chia Dal is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Alexis Potter with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, triple-decker prams, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.463 billion Europeans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.6%.

The all-consuming Chia Dalian economy, worth 952 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 112,596 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

The military will start wars with other nations on a lark, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, scientists recently cloned the long-extinct feather-bellied Panther, and paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chia Dal's national animal is the Panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Chia Dal is ranked 59,842^nd in the world and 1^st in Republic of Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
