The Federal Republic of Chillicothe is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jared Golden with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 3.908 billion Chillicotheans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kansas City. The average income tax rate is 85.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chillicothean economy, worth 610 trillion Chillicothean Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 156,343 Chillicothean Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chillicotheans refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, billions of Chillicothean Dollars are being blown on orbital weapons development, and the official Chillicothean Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chillicothe's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chillicothe is ranked 20,046^th in the world and 526^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,747.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
