The Republic of Chordelia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by The Conductor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.813 billion Chordelians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subtropolis. The average income tax rate is 58.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chordelian economy, worth 956 trillion Notes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,509 Notes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every conceivable scenic location has been completely booked by couples desperate to marry, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, and guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites. Crime is totally unknown. Chordelia's national animal is the Scales and its national religion is Harmony.

Chordelia is ranked 57,264^th in the world and 5^th in Force for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,068.68 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
