The Commonwealth of Chalsardu is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elxiras with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.339 billion Chalsardis 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, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chalsardas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Chalsardim economy, worth a remarkable 3,843 trillion thammarches a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 338,948 thammarches, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,505,022 per year while the poor average 47,591, a ratio of 31.6 to 1.

Restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Chalsardu, bins outnumber trees in city parks, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chalsardu's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Seldarinism.

Chalsardu is ranked 13,244th in the world and 4th in Xedas for Most Stationary, with 1,913.62244194752 days.
