The Republic of ChuckleChips is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 632 million Chucklers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chuckland. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving ChuckleChipsian economy, worth 39.9 trillion ChuckleBucks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,086 ChuckleBucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast, and Leader has killer fashion sense. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ChuckleChips's national animal is the Seal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

ChuckleChips is ranked 146,703^rd in the world and 74^th in Canada for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 521.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
