The Holy Empire of New Chiken is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 457 million New Chikenians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Jerusalem. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.6%.

The all-consuming New Chikenian economy, worth 43.7 trillion Aneans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 95,527 Aneans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,465 per year while the poor average 26,297, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, there's often a little nagging voice suggesting that parents aren't keeping their kids safe, babies are a small but significant export, and historical commemorations regularly devolve into militaristic jingoism. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Chiken's national animal is the Black Chicken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

New Chiken is ranked 244,651^st in the world and 5,892^nd in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.21 law-abiding acts per hour.
