Chivikistan

Council of Administrators apologises for past uncouth behaviour, likely refugee crisis originating in chaotic borderlands
For untold and utterly unknown centuries a huge tract of the Dictionopolis Mountains has been called Chivikistan, and its people have lived free without worry of war or watch of government. For years though there has been growing concern amongst Chivikistan’s peaceful majority as their paradise spawns corruption. Time was that Chivikistanis followed a permissive code, almost a religion of universally agreed tolerance and peace, but that liberal culture was a poison to itself as disorder was allowed to run wild.
True, as the United Nations recognises, Chivikistan is almost utterly crime-free, but this is in part because of the sheer difficulty of finding a law to break. Almost all Chivikistanis, young and old, are addicted to at least one narcotic or other. Many sub-cultures exist centred around pass times such as casual fire-starting, or the running of drugs abroad (which is done usually for the thrill, for political reasons, or ‘for the hell of it’ rather than for profit, as currency is a none entity in Chivikistan).
Now, surprisingly, countless millions of Chivikistanis have petitioned their local Administrators, apparently concerned that the nation’s international reputation is being ripped apart by lacklustre bands of uncultured vagabonds.
The Council of Administrators has as a result taken the unprecedented step of doing something, and has chanced to exert pressure on those citizens unwilling to live by the long neglected Chivikista Code. Administrator Xchu Amberblott announced the Council’s intention to, “...promote a new era of education and enlightenment, with the ultimate intention of restoring a permissive but safe and progressive normalcy to this free land.”
As a result of these moves it is expected that a certain breed of Chivikistanis may leave the country in pursuit of their spitfire lifestyle of reckless abandon. Whether they shall disperse into other nation states, settle virgin lands, or continue to roam the earth and the high seas as nomads or pirates is quite unknown.
Chivikistan is in many respects a fairly primitive land, and to some western eyes especially may appear poor. However, without a currency and with no concept of private ownership the Chivikistani economy is still said to be frightening. This is purported to be owing to the people’s ability to bond in the pursuit of any specific aim. Where the need is for a school the people mobilise en masse to raise it from nothing, when intoxicants are in short supply the people go by the thousand into the fields to plant new crops, or erect new processing facilities. In this fashion, without currency, the nation’s industrial capacity is judged to be significant, and the value of the goods processed and services rendered relatively great.
