The Queendom of Chargren is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Queen Katida Falko with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 19.979 billion Chargrenites enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Agrell. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Chargrenite economy, worth a remarkable 2,639 trillion Marks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,098 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chargren's national animal is the Raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chargren is ranked 290,640^th in the world and 10^th in The Charter for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 2,377.77 Standard Monetary Units.
