The Colony of Chilledsville is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chilledenuff with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 19.192 billion Chilledsvilleans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hub. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Chilledsvillean economy, worth a remarkable 5,911 trillion Groats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 307,999 Groats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drive-by spoilers are an increasingly common crime, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda, and citizens know never to accept cookies from strangers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chilledsville's national animal is the Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chilledsville is ranked 323rd in the world and 5th in Forest for Highest Food Quality, scoring 499.83 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
