The Patagonian City of El Chalten is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Tourists population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 18.039 billion Chaltenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Chaltenian economy, worth 514 trillion Argentinian pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,513 Argentinian pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. El Chalten's national animal is the Tourists, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

El Chalten is ranked 222,174^th in the world and 8,334^th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.04 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
