CWCville, USA
Considering how it's portrayed, its full name could be the Our Glorious Leader's True and Honest Lovers' City of CWCville, in a way similar to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
CWCville is actually two things: a fictional setting for the Sonichu comic, and Chris's long-ongoing pet project - many might call it a "happy place" and an imaginary refuge from the harsh reality. The two things overlap very much. It's sort of like his own personal Silent Hill - except that instead of being a twisted Hell full of violent rage and nightmare beasts, it's a disturbingly cheerful place where Chris's bouncy creations laugh, frolic, and fuck for his amusement exactly like Silent Hill. Characters are introduced without warning and fall by the wayside just as quickly; nobody's quite sure what becomes of them, but knowing Chris it probably involves anguished shrieks emanating from a love dungeon below the Mayor's house.
In the Sonichu comic book world, the town is allegedly located in the state of Virginia, but being a figment of Chris Chan's imagination, it will never be found on an actual map. Yet, in many ways, it seems the city is legislatively and economically cut off from the rest of Virginia and the United States. In this city, Chris Chan is a despotic mayor, where he controls everything at his own will and dictates new laws, granting him the basis of his megalomaniac tendencies.
Inside the comic, CWCville is at a fierce rivalry with neighboring city PVCC. It is under constant attack from the evil forces of Dean Mary Lee Walsh and her army of Jerkops.
CWCville history
According to Sonichu 8, CWCville was founded in 1982 by Chris's father, Bob Chandler. Why he would name a city after his deadshit son is unknown.
BILLY MAYS coup
On 03 March 2009, Chris announced that BILLY MAYS is the new mayor of CWCville and that he was going to CWCville Jail to get raped by niggos.
On 04 March 2009, Chris revoked his statement that made MAYS the new mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in his bedroom. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the Medallion of Fail, which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST (and any retraction otherwise would involve him wearing the medallion to make his retraction legally binding), his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS is still the mayor of CWCville.
On 28 June 2009 BILLY MAYS, was mysteriously killed in his mayoral mansion, plunging the entire town into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, and quickly undid all of MAYS' initiatives, before announcing during a post-coup interview that he was always the ruler, and that there would be no further elections. Rioting quickly broke out (along with sympathy riots in Iran and China) before Chris seized the state-controlled media and broadcast his denials on CWC TV 24/7.
CWCville IRL
The IRL timeline concerning the creation of CWCville is uncertain, however we do know that is has existed since Chris's high school year, before Sonichu was originally thought of in March of 2000. Evidence photography of CWCville being replicated from Chris's mind to reality with Lego blocks have proven that CWCville was in fact one of his first creations, even disputing in antiquity with the creation of Bionic the Hedgehog, Christian's first Sonic recolor.
It has been argued that Chris's retard power stems from the fact that he can retreat to his own CWCville world, where he can right all wrongs done to him. In his comics, we see him defeating Mary Lee Walsh, with whom he holds an IRL grudge, beating around the jerkops, and bringing his dead dog, Patti Chandler, back to life in the form of another inhabitant. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts as defeating a whole army of huge Jerkops and resurrecting his dead dog is that in CWCville his will reigns supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world in which he holds no such power.
Spelling
One of Chris's homemade Pokémon cards featured a "Cwick City Gym," while an unfinished Game Boy Camera project dating from 2001 used the spellings "Cwicville" and "Cwickville". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate his his massive ego as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense.
Government
CWCville is like many contemporary third world countries. There's a non-elected leader who does what he pleases, but gives himself the title of an elected official: mayor. Business owners and managers who try to stand up for themselves are ruthlessly crushed. The police don't take orders from the civil authorities and lock people up at random, the dean of the only college is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the mayoral-controlled press. Soliciting sex is presumably legal in CWCville, whereas possessing alcohol or tabacco is a capital offense, even though the mayor gleefully downs booze with hypocritical abandon. Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity; in a predictable display of bureaucratic cluelessness, this important task has been somehow handed to an obvious closet case.
The radio station and soft drink company are also named after the mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. CWCville mints its own money, which comes in confusing denominations--for instance, there are two kinds of quarter, the C and W, which are mutually exclusive to the point where vending machines will take only one or the other, and the exchange rate between the two is inexact. The basic services are lacking: African Sonichu wasn't sent to a hospital ER after being attacked by Silvana, but was sent to a wholly inadequate Pokémon Center instead. Despite the seemingly large police force equipped with weapons and TANKS, and even an entire division of the United States Army, troublemakers like Wes Iseli ruin weddings with near impunity. Packs of wild Pokémon who have received procedural immunity from the mayor roam the streets, uncontrolled. The rare buildings of CWCville are sad, lopsided affairs, betraying a lack of architectural and engineering skills brought on by a national brain drain, as the educated classes seek asylum in the US or Europe (the map shows many buildings, but they tend not to appear in pictures - we can assume they were destroyed in some sort of civil war). As the poor citizens of CWCville suffer in the squalor of refugee camps, the mayor wastes precious UN aid money on oversize novelty drinking straws and credit cards for dogs. As of Christmas 2008, there were 10 homeless shelters set up: Chris himself claims that these ten story "Soup Hotels" house an indigent population of 900-1800 individuals, and come equipped with free cable TV. They are almost certainly havens for junkies, crack dealers and whores openly plying their trade in the hallways and elevators, while the mayor's personal friends, such as Sonichu, live in state-sponsored, suburban housing.
Conditions in CWCville are worsening daily. As mayoral forces clash with rebel police in the streets of the capital, aid organizations have been forced to withdraw. While his people starve, mayor Chandler has funneled government money into illegal arms trades with North Korea and Iran, with the stated goal of building a rocket to "send all the tobacky to the moon". The lavish living conditions and the salary of his squad of pokemons goons (3500$/Month) is fully supported by the city's budget.
Exactly how CWCville's government operates is quite nebulous and mystified. Chandler is mayor-for-life with supreme power, and has insisted that there are no elections, but he has also insisted that the vote has "even" been extended to those of African descent. Voting, obviously, does little good when there are no elections, so it looks like this may just be a token attempt to disassociate the government from the rabid racism of CWCville's populace.
Recently, it was revealed that CWCville has a paramilitary force armed with tanks. This is what Chris considers the "Police Force". Even more frightening, the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon are immune to prosecution for any crimes they may end up doing.
With this recent revelation, one must ask this all-important question:
“ | Is CWCville under MARTIAL LAW?!?! | ” |

Further evidence towards the Orwellian nature of Chris's government was brought to light in Mailbag_31, where Chris revealed that Magi-Chan uses his psychic powers to keep the entire city under "Constant Surveillance", even inside the bedrooms of private citizens, on behalf of the CWCville Police. Thus, not only are the Hedgehog-Pokemon immune to prosecution, but they may accuse any other CWCville resident and have them arrested solely on their word.
Flora and fauna
CWCville, like the rest of Virginia, has a temperate climate and is suitable for large-scale agriculture. Years of economic decline, however, have seen CWCville's environs diverge greatly from those of its neighboring cities. Its forests growing thicker, and its fields returning to nature, CWCville is an excellent laboratory for the avid naturalist. Pokemon roam in the forests; Zapbuds fill the fields.
Zapbud
Zapbuds Are a horrible new invasive species imported from the hell-hole of Chris's mind and have quickly established itself in the sorrunding ecosystems, killing off native species such as the Wild Pickle Tree with it's weedy tendencies. While some claim Zapbud's have narcotic properties similar to opium poppies, little attempt has been made to market or cultivate them outside of CWCville due to intervention from environmental groups from letting this horrific weed from spreading. Aside of "healing woes", relatively little is known of them, aside of having four leaves, possibly resembling buds of some sort in their normal state, and the "zap" and electrical hazard symbol suggesting that it might not be the brightest idea to pee in the middle of a zapbud field. In the comics, Sonichu is fond of calling Rosechu his "zapbud", or even "blossoming zapbud" if he's in the mood.
Chris has, as frequently demonstrated, failed to develop his characters through his stories. The fact that he fails to demonstrate some character for plants is just plain tragic. For crying out loud, just how hard can it be to make readers give a damn about a fictitious plant weed that looks like something from a children's televison show?
Anomalies
It is curious to note that while Chris reigns supreme over his imaginary town, it is still subject to the will of other people (as evidenced by BILLY MAYS' election). This gives a small insight into the workings of Chris's mind, as it implies a belief in the physicality of his realm. Any sane person could agree to "proclaim" BILLY MAYS the mayor of their fictional city with an offhand shrug, since it doesn't actually mean anything. They certainly wouldn't take it seriously enough to feel the need to clarify that they didn't mean it. The long and short of this is that Chris's creations are, to him, subject to certain physical laws and structures which IRL he is unable or unwilling to comprehend. This suggests that if efforts were made to convince Chris that, for example, Sonichu had terminal cancer, Chris would be unable to 'cure' him and may, in fact, kill him off himself. Such theories are yet to be put to the test.
