The Federation of Chanku is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Zebra population. The quiet, industrious population of 11.014 billion Chankuans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Chankuan economy, worth 396 trillion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,993 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chanku's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chanku is ranked 117,874^th in the world and 4,917^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 75.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
