The Republic of Chontaloia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Jopey T with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, humorless population of 8.953 billion Chontaloians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Freiheitstadt. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong Chontaloian economy, worth a remarkable 1,841 trillion chontaloian marks a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 205,710 chontaloian marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, sly spies try to rely on national allies so that they don't die, troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto, and the official Chontaloian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chontaloia's national animal is the Chontaloian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chontaloia is ranked 7,457^th in the world and 1^st in PPKn eleven class one for Highest Food Quality, scoring 180.46 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
