The Empire of Chakia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 252 million Chakians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Chakian economy, worth 12.1 trillion Chák crowns a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,850 Chák crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, elected officials who disagree with Leader have a lot of accidents, weather reports simply advise Chakians to 'look outside', and Leader has killer fashion sense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chakia's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chakia is ranked 270,645^th in the world and 6,549^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
