The Eternally Smug State of Chelodia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mr Class with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.082 billion Chelodians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nabari. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Chelodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,986 trillion Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,693 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Mr Class's childhood, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, and Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in Chelodia. Crime is totally unknown. Chelodia's national animal is the Sun Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chelodia is ranked 114,428^th in the world and 512^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,811.07 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
