The People's Republic of Chilikia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by General Secretary Ervano Kaliskov with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.323 billion Chilikians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Great Artagov City. The average income tax rate is 50.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Chilikian economy, worth 141 trillion Chilikis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 106,724 Chilikis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most voters only see their chosen representative visit once every election cycle, Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Chilikian politicians, and the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chilikia's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Marxist-Communist.

Chilikia is ranked 8,716^th in the world and 476^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,725.9 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
