The Federation of Chimms is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by 001 with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 12.98 billion Chimmsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estergan. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chimmsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,380 trillion Chimm Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 183,401 Chimm Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies", sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chimms's national animal is the Plorgus, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chimms is ranked 293,872^nd in the world and 11,102^nd in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
