The Nomadic Thalassate of Chippan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.511 billion Chippanians 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, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo Chippa. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chippanian economy, worth 261 trillion microlamboes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 172,939 microlamboes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, the nation is stuck in permanent election mode as politicians demand constant do-overs, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chippan's national animal is the stingray, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Chippan is ranked 17,190^th in the world and 13^th in Horizon for Highest Average Incomes, with 172,939.94 Standard Monetary Units.
