The Democratic Republic of Chaopia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.463 billion Chaopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chaopia City. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chaopian economy, worth a remarkable 4,868 trillion merls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,250 merls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, the Chaopian Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances, citizens who plan overseas vacations are barred from running for political office, and large sections of Chaopia have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chaopia's national animal is the emperor penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Discordianism.

Chaopia is ranked 205,317th in the world and 3rd in Discworld for Most Stationary, with 41.735389956 days.
