The Queendom of Chieftess is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 878 million Chieftessians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 10.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Chieftessian economy, worth 49.0 trillion Kazimierzian marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 55,819 Kazimierzian marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, chipped paint can see a building condemned, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Chieftess's national animal is the Kuranta, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chieftess is ranked 303,501^st in the world and 60^th in Kazimierz for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
