The Socialist Federal Republic of Chianski, also referred to as Chianski SFR, and most commonly referred to as Chianski, is an tropical nation that is spread across numerous islands. It is comprised of 10 states spread across a volcanic-coral island chain in the Central Concordian Ocean. The largest island, Telver, has almost all of its landmass covered by the capitol city of Telver, which is the largest city in Chianski and the main cultural and commercial center. Despite having no borders with other nations, Chianski's closest neighbors are South Hills to the east, Adumara and Astistan to the north, and Wikichang to the south.

The ecosystems of Chianski are very uniform but ecologically diverse, with all of the islands being either tropical rain-forest or tropical grasslands. The islands host a wide array of coral reefs and shoals and each island is described as being a "microcosm" of numerous environments. The highest point in Chianski is Mount Tonava which reaches a height of 134 meters above sea level. Chianski has over 75 protected parks and preserves spread around the nation which protect numerous ecologically sensitive reefs and lands. Multiple species of animals are endemic to Chianski and the islands are host to numerous migratory birds throughout the year.

First coming into its own as a proper nation state at around 1950, with the unification of the Islands, Chianski is now a world leader in welfare, public transport, and education with its citizens being noted for their compassion, godlessness and health. Chianski's income per-capita is around 196,000 Chianskian Dollars with little difference between the highest and lowest levels of society thanks to extremely punitive income taxes. Private enterprise is totally illegal, with all business being publically or government owned. Chianski is considered a post-modern state, with major network infrastructure and technological advancement. Chianski's primary exports are technology and book publishing.

In Chianski the prices of basic goods and services are set by central government planners, rather than rising and falling through supply and demand. The nominal GDP is $49.72 trillion. Unemployment is at 3.24%, largely due to the fact that the right to work is enshrined in the Communist Party's Ideals. According to recent audits, Information Technology is currently Chianski's largest industry, followed by Tourism and Book Publishing.

Chianski is home to a wide array of cultures as a result of it's liberal immigration policy. Chianski's culture is characterized by the government endorsed belief in socialist realism with the ideals of a conformist public life image and a well developed personal life. Chianski's unique location has led to it being described as a melting pot where many cultures and species have come to join into one. Chianskians are typically described as very cheerful, compassionate, and hardworking. This attitude has made Chianski a popular destination for immigrants and tourists alike. Chianskians are also firm believers in equity and fairness.

Roughly 82% of the population is Human with Vulpines accounting for about 8.1% of the population and the reminder being either Lupine, hybrid or other species.

The Chianskian government enforces and promotes an antitheistic policy of state-atheism. This policy was adopted to help in the spread of intellectualism, scientific literacy and to aid technological development amongst the Chianskian people. Chianski has possibly the highest rate of atheism in all of Urth with 95% of the population being Atheist or non-religious. The official policy prohibits: "all forms of evangelism, indoctrination, public worship, private worship, religious services and religious or spiritual propaganda." Despite laws prohibiting these, the enforcement of the policy is mostly regulated by shame from the community, rather than by actual threat of punishment. As such, breaking the laws typically never offer serious punishment to criminals; instead, people found to have been worshipping or participating in public religious services are often reprimanded, or if caught, forced to do community service, however those convicted of spreading spiritual propaganda, evangelism or participating in public religious services are typically forced into exile or arrested and sentenced to jail time. In recent years many protests have been held regarding the subject of religion and it is believed that much of the Vulpine population and Vulpine politicians are secretly followers of Vayan Catholicism.

Codexian and English are the current national and de facto languages of Chianski. According to the 2017 census, English is the only language spoken for close to 81% of the population while the next most common language being spoken at home is Unonian (6.7%); a considerable proportion of these are Vulpine migrants of whom majority are bilingual.
