The Giant Chicken of Plump Chickenia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Little Chicken Fat with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, otherworldly petting zoo, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.605 billion Plump Chickenians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chicky City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Plump Chickenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,686 trillion chicken wings a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 312,160 chicken wings, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,890,262 per year while the poor average 3,238, a ratio of 892 to 1.

People who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, garbage bags floating down the river are churned up by man-made rapids, the newest season of Landlord Cops was filmed in front of a live audience, and 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Plump Chickenia's national animal is the Chicken Nugget, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chickianity.

Plump Chickenia is ranked 285,755th in the world and 11,527th in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 3,238.05 Standard Monetary Units.
