The People's Republic of Chiyostan is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 496 million Chiyostanis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tomograd. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Chiyostani economy, worth 31.2 trillion Shants a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,810 Shants, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Streakers swamp all public events in order to bare it all, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, it's always rabbit season, and banning party poppers has been a real party pooper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chiyostan's national animal is the Isopod, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chiyostan is ranked 278,322^nd in the world and 139^th in Albastru for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
