The Disputed Territories of Chagos Archipelago is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.198 billion Chagos Archipelagoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.0%.

The strong Chagos Archipelagoan economy, worth 231 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 44,529 Delta Eagles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 135,497 per year while the poor average 11,361, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, high school principals regularly send armed truancy patrols to drag problem students to school, and the entire entry for Chagos Archipelago in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chagos Archipelago's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chagos Archipelago is ranked 155,651^st in the world and 6^th in The Federation of Planets for Safest, scoring 59.62 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
