The Federation of Chunky Rice is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, avant-garde cinema, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.587 billion Chunky Riceans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Chunky Ricean economy, worth 480 trillion yuan a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,415 yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, and parents who fail mandatory parenting classes risk having their children taken away. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Chunky Rice's national animal is the monkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chunky Rice is ranked 280,528^th in the world and 5,006^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 6.47 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
