The Federation of Christou is a small, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 40 million Christouans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Welfare, Defense, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 32.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Christouan economy, worth 1.67 trillion Forties a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,871 Forties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, farting etiquette is taught in schools, it is often said that only Leader could bring down Dàguó, and every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christou's national animal is the Donkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Christou is ranked 42,460^th in the world and 495^th in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 18.34 average smiles per day.
