The Renmin Minzhu Zhuanzheng of ChiCon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Chiconian People's Party with an iron fist, and renowned for its feral children, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.141 billion ChiConians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Industry is also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zhongnanhai. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient ChiConian economy, worth an astonishing 13,822 trillion yuan a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 372,155 yuan, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,238,958 per year while the poor average 27,896, a ratio of 80.3 to 1.

Former customs officers are adjusting to their new lives as market stall traders, books are so highly regarded in ChiCon that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, and former state leaders include a TV comic and a cowboy actor. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, probably because of the absence of a police force. ChiCon's national animal is the panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is the ChiConian Little Red Book.

ChiCon is ranked 294,224^th in the world and 63^rd in China for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
