The Oppressed Peoples of Cha Hae-In is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.579 billion Cha Hae-Inians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cha Hae-Inian economy, worth 276 trillion Spices a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,343 Spices, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,071 per year while the poor average 28,067, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.

People's charity begins and ends at home, it's considered a civil right to be allowed to neglect and mistreat your own children, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cha Hae-In's national animal is the Pig, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cha Hae-In is ranked 43,611^th in the world and 3^rd in Mud Puddle 450 for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 200.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
