The Conservation Officer of Chodean Kal is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Marshal Markus Briand with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, public floggings, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.315 billion Chodeani 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andreisburg. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Chodeani economy, worth a remarkable 1,955 trillion FS Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 60,519 FS Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
