The Republic of Ch102 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 4.513 billion Ch102ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 79.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ch102ian economy, worth 466 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,330 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The most sacred right is the right to ignore the rights of slaves, news headlines usually include p-values, politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ch102's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ch102 is ranked 303,612^th in the world and 175^th in Avril Lavigne Nation for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -21.02 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
