The Dictatorship of Chipi-Chapa is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 191 million Chipi-Chapans 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Chipi-Chapan economy, worth 11.2 trillion chipesoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,460 chipesoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Immigrant Bigtopians work themselves to the bone to support gold-plated Chipi-Chapan pensions, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, billions of chipesoes are being poured into a space program, and Chipi-Chapa City spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chipi-Chapa's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chipi-Chapa is ranked 42,415^th in the world and 858^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,987.91 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
