The Socialist-ish Nation of Chalponkey Union is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.703 billion Chalponkis have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ęben. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chalponki economy, worth a remarkable 2,085 trillion Strozzes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 164,138 Strozzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, vast amounts of energy are expended moving water to hilltop lakes, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, and carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chalponkey Union's national animal is the Tardigrade, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chalponkey Union is ranked 64,493rd in the world and 1st in WhenItsDone for Most Stationary, with 745.2306341632 days.
