The Happy Charnel House of Chinese Lanterns is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 30.809 billion Chinese Lanternsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Chinese Lanternsian economy, worth a remarkable 3,758 trillion brains a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,977 brains, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

It's believed that women's brains will overheat if they think for themselves, unemployed mercenaries drift the country looking for new careers, the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli, and pitchforks and torches are coming back into fashion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chinese Lanterns's national animal is the water dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chinese Lanterns is ranked 145,349th in the world and 2nd in Peoples Republic of China for Most Stationary, with 179.21889918872 days.
