The Holy Empire of Choi Hanji is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiserin with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.289 billion Choi Hanjians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cheolburg. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Choi Hanjian economy, worth 204 trillion Ducklings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,292 Ducklings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Choi Hanji's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Choi Hanji is ranked 92,067^th in the world and 2,525^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 90.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
