The County of Chowan is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Charles Eden with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.572 billion Chowanians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edenton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.5%.

The strong Chowanian economy, worth 251 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 70,537 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 211,138 per year while the poor average 18,423, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

Procrastination is a national sport, Charles Eden can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award, and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Chowan's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Chowan is ranked 101,279^th in the world and 7^th in County for Highest Average Incomes, with 70,537.26 Standard Monetary Units.
