Chi Con is a large ungoverned, developing country ruled sparingly by Corai. While its gated Royal Town is sparkling, well-protected, and boasts modern amenities and a decent police (and the military), the outside areas are a mixed mess of sprawling public housing, lush forests, some farms, and sandy beaches. Chi Con is infamous for having one of the highest income disparities in Antarctica. This sweeping poverty, rich-poor gap, and the largely anarchic society has caused many to view Chi Con as a failed state. The lack of government has made Chi Con an international pariah.
