The People's Republic of New Chavez is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 225 million New Chavezians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 7.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving New Chavezian economy, worth 15.3 trillion New Chaveznan Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 68,037 New Chaveznan Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Airport announcements inform passengers that flights have been delayed because pilots are having afternoon naps, pre-schoolers who draw stick figures of their favorite celebrities are sued for infringing image rights, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and children are afraid to go out at night due to the ubiquity of hardened jaywalkers. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. New Chavez's national animal is the Wild Chaveznan Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Chavez is ranked 148,726^th in the world and 2^nd in Democratic Alliances of Nations for Fattest Citizens, with 9.92 Obesity Rate.
