The United Federation of Charellia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Chief Executor Calvin Matheson with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 24.781 billion Charellians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Union City. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Charellian economy, worth a remarkable 2,011 trillion Unials a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 81,157 Unials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Lavish state dinners in Union City are the state's leading budgetary expenditure, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime is totally unknown. Charellia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charellia is ranked 29,766^th in the world and 1^st in Tagwaran for Most Beautiful Environments, with 839.01 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
