The Holy Empire of Chyra is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 146 million Chyrans 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.7%.

The strong Chyran economy, worth 8.58 trillion Iras a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 58,745 Iras, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

Adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble, a decrease in wailing and gnashing of teeth at astronomical events is reducing demand for dentistry, the government struggles to keep up with the endless list of petrol disasters, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chyra's national animal is the Shrimp.

Chyra is ranked 303,293^rd in the world and 33^rd in Warzone Asia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
