The Free Land of Ciapore is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Schlomo II with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 8.534 billion Ciaporeans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taengata. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Ciaporean economy, worth 421 trillion Rovas 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 49,370 Rovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Town nameplates frequently raise giggles from passing tourists, bars are packed at all hours, social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, and the Ciapore Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ciapore's national animal is the Druk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Shaafi.

Ciapore is ranked 17,853^rd in the world and 104^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,103.87 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
