The District of Chelmsfield is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 44.121 billion Portsmen live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is effectively ruled by the Department of Welfare, with Healthcare, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Public Transport are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.4%.

The powerhouse Chelmsfieldian economy, worth a remarkable 2,066 trillion aurums a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,845 aurums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,884 per year while the poor average 10,196, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, Chelmsfield has designated District City as its capital city, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and the government thinks Portsmen can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Chelmsfield's national animal is the bovina, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chelmsfield is ranked 95,660^th in the world and 1^st in Chelmsfield for Smartest Citizens, with 37.39 quips per hour.
