The Theocracy of Chiropterran Commonwealth is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord Commander Lucent Eclipse with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.461 billion Chiropterrans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ayacachtli. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.1%.

The strong Chiropterran economy, worth 151 trillion bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 61,761 bits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 337,360 per year while the poor average 5,784, a ratio of 58.3 to 1.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chiropterran Commonwealth's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Lunarism.

Chiropterran Commonwealth is ranked 91,213^th in the world and 726^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,016.34 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
