The Rogue Nation of Cholympec is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 320 million Cholympecians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dragon-Scale City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The powerhouse Cholympecian economy, worth 28.4 trillion florins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 88,774 florins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 387,223 per year while the poor average 12,863, a ratio of 30.1 to 1.

Noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame. Crime is well under control. Cholympec's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cholympec is ranked 135,156^th in the world and 93^rd in Lair of the Dragon for Safest, scoring 67.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
