The Nomadic Republic of Chicks is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Great Chief Leopold with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.251 billion Chicks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Big Camp. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Chickly economy, worth 30.4 trillion Chick coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 24,288 Chick coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Great Chief Leopold has just been declared ruler of Chicks in an international press conference, cheeping has been named as Chicks's national religion, the tightness of border controls in Chicks leave a little to be desired, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chicks's national animal is the mealworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is cheeping.

Chicks is ranked 203,207^th in the world and 1,030^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 436.18 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
