The Commonwealth of Chalsardu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elxiras with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.551 billion Chalsardis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chalsardas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Chalsardim economy, worth a remarkable 3,924 trillion thammarches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 339,734 thammarches, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,563,867 per year while the poor average 44,696, a ratio of 35.0 to 1.

Farmers can be spotted driving gold-plated tractors, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Chalsardu at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, anyone who doesn't attend Official Governmental Religious Services is fined, and religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chalsardu's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Seldarinism.

Chalsardu is ranked 173,719^th in the world and 21^st in Xedas for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
