The Republic of Chum Chum 31 is a very large, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 399 million Chum Chum 31ians 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 Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 29.8%.

The strong Chum Chum 31ian economy, worth 15.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is 37,973 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chum Chum 31's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chum Chum 31 is ranked 155,929^th in the world and 1,937^th in eta for Most Developed, scoring 55.13 on the Human Development Index.
