The Thalassocratic Empire of Chola Samrajyam is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Rajaraja Parantaka Chola II with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 993 million Cholas 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 relatively small, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gangaikondacholapuram. The average income tax rate is 13.6%.

The Chola economy, worth 49.7 trillion panams a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,074 panams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

All beauty contests have been banned, doctors will keep brain-dead coma patients ventilated for years in order to avoid accusations of allowing people to die, Chola novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Rajaraja Parantaka Chola II, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chola Samrajyam's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chola Samrajyam is ranked 154,656^th in the world and 52^nd in India for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.77 law-abiding acts per hour.
