The Shining Star of Chipoli is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Ilya Romanov with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, devout population of 4.576 billion Chipolians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chipolia. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chipolian economy, worth 511 trillion rupans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,799 rupans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ilya Romanov's Twitcher account is typically used to share cat memes rather than government policy, the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, internet flame wars have been known to cause real-world casualties, and the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chipoli's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Chipoli is ranked 27,046^th in the world and 1,077^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 876.06 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
