The State of Champlain Line is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 37.902 billion Champlain Lineans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The very strong Champlain Linean economy, worth a remarkable 2,190 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 57,787 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 392,884 per year while the poor average 3,104, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a major religion has been named as Champlain Line's national religion, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, and Champlain Line has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Champlain Line's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Champlain Line is ranked 271,748^th in the world and 447^th in State for Safest, scoring 19 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
