The People's Republic of Chengjiu is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Tianma Huang with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.871 billion Cheng are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiangjing. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cheng economy, worth 249 trillion yuan a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,448 yuan, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dragons are considered a delicacy, space shuttles are lying silent on the runway till the Space Agency can work out how to fit a creche and a meditation room into their next spacecraft, edutainment video games are taking Chengjiu's students to the next level, and nothing gets the party jumping like Tianma Huang specifying how high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chengjiu's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chengjiu is ranked 35,025^th in the world and 600^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,757.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
