The Red Sun Empire of Chizale is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Empress Vita Chizahuizipa with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.547 billion Chizaleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zipacón. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Chizalean economy, worth 720 trillion Izals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 129,838 Izals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 378,757 per year while the poor average 35,169, a ratio of 10.8 to 1.

The nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Chizale has found 4 easter eggs), the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Chizale with a very polite populace, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and dream holidays often go awry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Chizale's national animal is the Condor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Chizahuia.

Chizale is ranked 135,910^th in the world and 87^th in Institute of Cellulose for Highest Food Quality, scoring 17.14 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
