The Dictatorship of Chipi-Chapa is a huge, safe nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 234 million Chipi-Chapans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Chipi-Chapan economy, worth 15.1 trillion chipesoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 64,627 chipesoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin, high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chipi-Chapa's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chipi-Chapa is ranked 42,976^th in the world and 852^nd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 705.23 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
