The Holy Empire of Chillin is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kot Domowy with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.242 billion Chillers are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chadville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Chillin economy, worth 367 trillion scrap coppers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 164,132 scrap coppers, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

Children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts, and Chillers believe manners maketh the leader. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Chillin's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Schizoism.

Chillin is ranked 265,854^th in the world and 75^th in Kerbals of the North for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
