The Rose Delegate of Chimes is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen Ellorea with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.674 billion Chimesians 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, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chimes Province. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Chimesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,432 trillion winds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail. Average income is an impressive 122,744 winds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There are no more heroes any more, glamping Chimesians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, escalators are avoided at all costs, and recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chimes's national animal is the Chimesian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wicca.

Chimes is ranked 237,816^th in the world and 7,179^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -14.63 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
