The Republic of Chimeronia is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 428 million Chimerons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arcadia. The average income tax rate is 31.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Chimeron economy, worth 40.1 trillion Padars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,585 Padars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators, any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and Arcadia's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space. Crime is totally unknown. Chimeronia's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chimeronia is ranked 18,392^nd in the world and 298^th in the Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 55.45 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
