The Holy Red Zombie Excellence of ChasingLola is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by NKBlue with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 38.744 billion ChasingLolans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NKBlue City. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient ChasingLolan economy, worth an astonishing 10,878 trillion stangias a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 280,770 stangias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and the media seems excessively interested in what NKBlue is wearing this season. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ChasingLola's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

ChasingLola is ranked 239th in the world and 1st in Taijitu for Most Cultured, scoring 634 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
