The Commonwealth of Chatoria is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Mark Holsgrave with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 5.339 billion Chatorians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brillston. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chatorian economy, worth 611 trillion ELDS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,517 ELDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Edutainment video games are taking Chatoria's students to the next level, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, and justice is available only to those who can afford its price tag. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chatoria's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chatoria is ranked 14,677^th in the world and 338^th in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 88.42 on the Human Development Index.
