The Supreme General Management of Chipol is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Victor Volkov with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, aversion to nipples, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.472 billion Chipolians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magos. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The thriving Chipolian economy, worth 113 trillion Blue Diamond Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,238 Blue Diamond Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Statistics show that terrorists often come from broken families, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety, and ex-cons are paid to remain law-abidingly dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chipol's national animal is the Azure Dragon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Coporatis.

Chipol is ranked 292,893rd in the world and 8th in The Nationstates Grocery Store for Most Cultured, scoring 52 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
