The People's Republic of Chugmogno is a large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 50 million Chugmognoans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 12.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Chugmognoan economy, worth 2.77 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,320 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, Violetist maidens who fall for an outsider must leave their violet light districts in shame, and scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Chugmogno's national animal is the Platypus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Chugmogno is ranked 112,266^th in the world and 2,347^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 13.96 flags saluted per person per day.
