The State of Chiqu is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.572 billion Chiquans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Chiquan economy, worth 599 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 51,813 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,944 per year while the poor average 3,248, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Chiqu's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chiqu is ranked 27,531st in the world and 4th in Parkland for Most Stationary, with 1,419.3356888468 days.
