The District of Chopaka is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Liard with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 30.118 billion Machas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Machan economy, worth a remarkable 4,267 trillion aurums a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 141,681 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The new cheese tax is colloquially known as "wheel welfare", businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, and Liard is convinced that other nations can simply be "junked" (Chopaka has found 8 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chopaka's national animal is the bovina, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chopaka is ranked 6,400^th in the world and 1^st in Neopower for Largest Populations, with 30.1 billion capita.
