The Three Kingdoms of Chalistine is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Vito Maurin with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 8.589 billion Chalistinians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Peridson. The average income tax rate is 58.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Chalistinean economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion Rugleses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,692 Rugleses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Vito Maurin's new political program is often mockingly called 'Capitalism with a Bigtopian face', the default state for Chalistine is default, Vito Maurin's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and the government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chalistine's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Chaldonian.

Chalistine is ranked 26,043^rd in the world and 61^st in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Developed, scoring 84.51 on the Human Development Index.
