The Kingdom of Chypas is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 939 million Chypáns have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Atzura. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.6%.

The strong Chypán economy, worth 64.1 trillion Dólars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,244 Dólars, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

Most ambassadors from Chypas retire only a few years after being appointed, Leader has just been declared ruler of Chypas in an international press conference, immigrants who don't like the taste of Chypán Turnip Chips are immediately deported, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chypas's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chypas is ranked 250,960^th in the world and 4,542^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
