The Federal Empire of Chioganah is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Constantius IV with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, devout population of 18.592 billion Chioganahians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canariss. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chioganahian economy, worth a remarkable 2,101 trillion Khanics a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,023 Khanics, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This summer's chart-toppers sound almost the same as last year's, prosecutors routinely call transplant doctors as 'expert witnesses' in burglary cases, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chioganah's national animal is the Pallas Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chioganah is ranked 9,473^rd in the world and 153^rd in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,475.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
