The Financial Services of Chase is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.544 billion Chaseans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The all-consuming Chasean economy, worth 844 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 112,002 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 495,132 per year while the poor average 15,850, a ratio of 31.2 to 1.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chase's national animal is the great white shark, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Chase is ranked 69,730^th in the world and 2^nd in Chase for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 137.84 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
