The Pirate Queen of Ching Shih Shuishou is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Madame Butterfly with an even hand, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.272 billion Ching Shih Shuishouans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ho Chi Medio. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ching Shih Shuishouan economy, worth a remarkable 1,807 trillion Yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 175,976 Yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Candidates for public office painstakingly research their family trees to ensure their eligibility, people who have lived their entire lives in Ching Shih Shuishou are shocked to discover that they are not citizens, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and gambling is outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ching Shih Shuishou's national animal is the Sea Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Chingism.

Ching Shih Shuishou is ranked 18,746th in the world and 7th in Doll Guldur for Most Stationary, with 1,663.86554623648 days.
