The Republic of ChicosLocos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 12.906 billion ChicosLocosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse ChicosLocosian economy, worth 797 trillion Corns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,827 Corns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ChicosLocos's national animal is the Corncrake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ChicosLocos is ranked 273,055th in the world and 6th in Vladivostok for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.54 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
