The Democratic States of Los Chromea is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.68 billion Los Chromeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Chromea. The average income tax rate is 44.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Los Chromean economy, worth 236 trillion chromons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,059 chromons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the New Chromea Cobras against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Los Chromea's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Los Chromea is ranked 13,640^th in the world and 15^th in Corsair for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
