The Republic of Ch103 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, national health service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.897 billion Ch103ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ch103ian economy, worth 612 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 125,096 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

The politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates, anyone with a tin cup can stop by the welfare office to have it filled with coins, people unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls, and when people want to start a family the government helps them planet carefully. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ch103's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ch103 is ranked 308,763^rd in the world and 146^th in Avril Lavigne Nation for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 19.81 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
