The Renmin Minzhu Zhuanzheng of ChiCon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Chiconian People's Party with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, digital currency, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 42.014 billion ChiConians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zhongnanhai. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient ChiConian economy, worth an astonishing 15,640 trillion yuan a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 372,271 yuan, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,247,738 per year while the poor average 27,657, a ratio of 81.3 to 1.

Politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, sworn provincial enemies must be held back in the Chiconian People's Party's cabinet meetings, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. ChiCon's national animal is the panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the ChiConian Little Red Book.

ChiCon is ranked 117^th in the world and 1^st in China for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 42,897.7 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
