The The High Quality Strains of Chronic is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Marijuana Horticulturist with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 20.764 billion Chronicians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Marijuana Dispensary. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Chronician economy, worth a remarkable 3,579 trillion ounces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 172,408 ounces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, you're only as old as you feel, sex changes are routinely performed at Chronic's hospitals, and in a fit of passion The Marijuana Horticulturist has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions. Crime is totally unknown. Chronic's national animal is the river otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Chronic.

Chronic is ranked 17,566^th in the world and 1^st in Chronic for Highest Average Incomes, with 172,408.49 Standard Monetary Units.
