The Blessed Masterdom of Champlost is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Infallible and Everlasting Master with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.872 billion Champlostians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Master's City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Champlostian economy, worth a remarkable 4,441 trillion Master's Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 345,068 Master's Ducats, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,021,463 per year while the poor average 91,560, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

Beat cops aren't named for the territory they patrol, quiet professionalism has returned to the nation's armed forces, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Champlost's national animal is the Hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Righteous Orthodox Masterism.

Champlost is ranked 28,116th in the world and 1,899th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 229.1 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
