'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com#The_Fall_of_4-cent_garbage:_''Sonichu''_#10|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel [[dimensions|dimension]] of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

==Overview==

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#Sonichus,_Rosechus,_and more|In a blog in September 2024]], Chris retconned this, in favor of the far more confusing lore that Bob "became Mayor of Cwcville by Godly Divine Decree and Order around when Chris started going to Providence Middle School." Implying that the city was actually founded by someone else at an undetermined point in time, and pushing the Chandler dynasty's takeover back to [[1993]].

It was unclear for a long time why the city then was not just called "Robertsville," as well as how Chris actually came to inherit it as his fiefdom. Speculations about possible coups and damnatio memoriae of the city's founder were finally put to rest in early 2025 with the [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#The_Autobots_of_Cwcville|Autobots of Cwcville essay]], where Chris <s>retconned</s> revealed that Bob had planned for Chris to take over after him from the start and teamed up with [[Magi-Chan]] to "physically and magically train" Chris with [[PsychicPowers|Psychic Powers]], to fend off all sorts of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|troublemakers]] that threatened the city and state. Magi-Chan was further revealed to have <s>conscripted</s> recruited an army of [[Pokemon]] to defend the city as early as [[1980]], from what remains unclear.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the [[Nazis|Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp]], it can also be seen as the combination of the number "69", which refers to a sex position and the number "1488", which refers to the white nationalist slogan the "Fourteen Words".

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[CWC-isms|sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillie's society call home.

And finally the furthest area appears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city) Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt, there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half, the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire city's traffic to a halt.

==Government and politics==

=== International Status ===
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

=== Governance ===

Despite on paper following the US model of the administration of a small town, the government is in practice a totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary]] [[Transformers|organizations]] who openly enjoy blank cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exclusively to him. Furthermore, the police employs [[Mailbag 31|psychic mass surveillance]] of the populace, to ensure compliance.

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government for the longest time was a "King/Queen thing" for which there was no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There is no separation of power, nor any checks on the Mayor's authority. The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building. Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they hold no actual authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to.
For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''.

Beyond the halls of power, there is a complete lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, nor evidence of so much as spontaneous acts of public opposition being permitted. The only known opposition leader was, till her capture, [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] leading a hopeless insurgency and for that was vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]].

The Mayor attempted for a long time to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

=== Law and criminal justice ===

The executive is completely controlled by the Mayor, with the police force, the so called "[[CWCstapo]]," answering directly to him only and arresting people who they deem [[trolls|personally opposed]] to the mayor at random. In the [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#The_Autobots_of_Cwcville|Autobots of Cwcville essay]] Chris revealed that as early as the 1980s the city made an alliance with Optimus Prime, and enlisted the help of several Autobots to defend the city. Whether and how these foreign volunteers have been actually properly integrated into the city's police force remains unclear.

The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice disturbingly mirrors many of the hallmarks of Nazi Germany's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts]. During the [[Sonichu_10|Trial of the Asperpedia Four]] the judge opens the trial by declaring that he is biased in the mayor's favor, insults the defendants on multiple occasions, no public defender is provided and the main defendant is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The judge dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, who does not actually recommend the punishment to the judge, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a legally unrecognized paramilitary organization, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and paramilitaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri war]] are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of [[Russia]]

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an American-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over it: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after him, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. This is further corroborated by the lavish lifestyle afforded to the political and social elite. The city pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> with the Mayor's hedgehog friends receiving free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office - not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. In particular, Sonichu and Rosechu seem to be unofficial state employees, receiving $3,500 of income per month each (shown in [[Mailbag 21]]). Further idiosyncracies are the banning of certain goods, such as [[Tobacky|Tobacco]]. Which, unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). As that number has further increased to at least 17 by the time of [[Sonichu 10|Sonichu #10]], which takes place only a month later, this problem has gotten even worse. The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to <s>shore up foreign currency reserves</s> gather funds for a tottering dictatorship.
According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind the currencies of {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref>

This extremely strong currency is likely the reason for the exceptionally high homeless rate, as the citizens of the city will find it much cheaper to procure goods in the United States, severely inhibiting the ability of local businesses to thrive. Likewise is it likely that aforementioned banned goods like cigarettes are smuggled into the city en masse, due to being so cheap to procure abroad. Which is further corroborated by claims of Chris that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like New York," and is on the stock exchange. <ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/> Implying large scale economic collaboration and ties with the United States.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their [[weening|ween]] ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of [[Australatina]]. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com#The_Fall_of_4-cent_garbage:_''Sonichu''_#10|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel [[dimensions|dimension]] of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[File:CWCvilleflag.png|thumb|Flag of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#Sonichus,_Rosechus,_and more|In a blog in September 2024]], Chris retconned this, in favor of the far more confusing lore that Bob "became Mayor of Cwcville by Godly Divine Decree and Order around when Chris started going to Providence Middle School." Implying that the city was actually founded by someone else at an undetermined point in time, and pushing the Chandler dynasty's takeover back to [[1993]].

It was unclear for a long time why the city then was not just called "Robertsville," as well as how Chris actually came to inherit it as his fiefdom. Speculations about possible coups and damnatio memoriae of the city's founder were finally put to rest in early 2025 with the [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#The_Autobots_of_Cwcville|Autobots of Cwcville essay]], where Chris <s>retconned</s> revealed that Bob had planned for Chris to take over after him from the start and teamed up with [[Magi-Chan]] to "physically and magically train" Chris with [[PsychicPowers|Psychic Powers]], to fend off all sorts of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|troublemakers]] that threatened the city and state. Magi-Chan was further revealed to have <s>conscripted</s> recruited an army of [[Pokemon]] to defend the city as early as [[1980]], from what remains unclear.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the [[Nazis|Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp]], it can also be seen as the combination of the number "69", which refers to a sex position and the number "1488", which refers to the white nationalist slogan the "Fourteen Words".

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[CWC-isms|sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillie's society call home.

And finally the furthest area appears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city) Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt, there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half, the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire city's traffic to a halt.

==Government and politics==

=== International Status ===
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

=== Governance ===

Despite on paper following the US model of the administration of a small town, the government is in practice a totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary]] [[Transformers|organizations]] who openly enjoy blank cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exclusively to him. Furthermore, the police employs [[Mailbag 31|psychic mass surveillance]] of the populace, to ensure compliance.

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government for the longest time was a "King/Queen thing" for which there was no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There is no separation of power, nor any checks on the Mayor's authority. The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building. Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they hold no actual authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to.
For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''.

Beyond the halls of power, there is a complete lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, nor evidence of so much as spontaneous acts of public opposition being permitted. The only known opposition leader was, till her capture, [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] leading a hopeless insurgency and for that was vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]].

The Mayor attempted for a long time to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

=== Law and criminal justice ===

The executive is completely controlled by the Mayor, with the police force, the so called "[[CWCstapo]]," answering directly to him only and arresting people who they deem [[trolls|personally opposed]] to the mayor at random. In the [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#The_Autobots_of_Cwcville|Autobots of Cwcville essay]] Chris revealed that as early as the 1980s the city made an alliance with Optimus Prime, and enlisted the help of several Autobots to defend the city. Whether and how these foreign volunteers have been actually properly integrated into the city's police force remains unclear.

The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice disturbingly mirrors many of the hallmarks of Nazi Germany's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts]. During the [[Sonichu_10|Trial of the Asperpedia Four]] the judge opens the trial by declaring that he is biased in the mayor's favor, insults the defendants on multiple occasions, no public defender is provided and the main defendant is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The judge dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, who does not actually recommend the punishment to the judge, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a legally unrecognized paramilitary organization, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and paramilitaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri war]] are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of [[Russia]]

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an American-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over the economy: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). As that number has further increased to at least 17 by the time of [[Sonichu 10|Sonichu #10]], which takes place only a month later, this problem has gotten even worse. The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to <s>shore up foreign currency reserves</s> gather funds for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind the currencies of {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their [[weening|ween]] ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of [[Australatina]]. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com#The_Fall_of_4-cent_garbage:_''Sonichu''_#10|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel [[dimensions|dimension]] of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]
[[File:CWCvilleflag.png|thumb|Flag of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> In [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#Sonichus,_Rosechus,_and more|In a blog in September 2024]], Chris retconned this in favor of the far more confusing lore, that Bob "became Mayor of Cwcville by Godly Divine Decree and Order around when Chris started going to Providence Middle School." Implying that the city was actually founded by someone else at an undetermined point in time, and pushing the Chandler dynasty's takeover back to [[1993]].

It was unclear for a long time why the city then was not just called "Robertsville," as well as how Chris actually came to inherit it as his fiefdom. Speculations about possible coups and damnatio memoriae of the city's founder were finally put to rest in early 2025 with the [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#The_Autobots_of_Cwcville|Autobots of Cwcville essay]], where Chris <s>retconned</s> revealed that old Robert had planned for Chris to take over from the start and teamed up with [[Magi-Chan]] to "physically and magically train" Chris with [[PsychicPowers|Psychic Powers]], to fend off all sorts of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|troublemakers]] that threatened the city and state.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the [[Nazis|Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp]], it can also be seen as the combination of the number "69", which refers to a sex position and the number "1488", which refers to the white nationalist slogan the "Fourteen Words".

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[CWC-isms|sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillie's society call home.

And finally the furthest area appears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city) Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt, there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half, the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire city's traffic to a halt.

==Government and politics==

=== International Status ===
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

=== Governance ===

Despite on paper following the US model of the administration of a small town, the government is in practice a totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary]] [[Transformers|organizations]] who openly enjoy blank cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exclusively to him. Furthermore, the police employs [[Mailbag 31|psychic mass surveillance]] of the populace, to ensure compliance.

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government for the longest time was a "King/Queen thing" for which there was no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There is no separation of power, nor any checks on the Mayor's authority. The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building. Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they hold no actual authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to.
For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. Beyond the halls of power, there is a complete lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, nor evidence of so much as spontaneous acts of public opposition being permitted. The only known opposition leader was, till her capture, [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] leading a hopeless insurgency and for that was vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]].

The Mayor attempted for a long time to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

=== Law and criminal justice ===

The executive is completely controlled by the Mayor, with the police force, the so called "[[CWCstapo]]," answering directly to him only and arresting people who they deem [[trolls|personally opposed]] to the mayor at random. In the [[CWC_Blog_(Cwclight)#The_Autobots_of_Cwcville|Autobots of Cwcville essay]] Chris revealed that as early as the 1980s the city made an alliance with Optimus Prime, and enlisted the help of several Autobots to defend the city. Whether and how these foreign volunteers have been actually properly integrated into the city's police force remains unclear.

The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice disturbingly mirrors many of the hallmarks of Nazi Germany's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts]. During the [[Sonichu_10|Trial of the Asperpedia Four]] the judge opens the trial by declaring that he is biased in the mayor's favor, insults the defendants on multiple occasions, no public defender is provided and the main defendant is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The judge dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, who does not actually recommend the punishment to the judge, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a legally unrecognized paramilitary organization, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and paramilitaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri war]] are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of [[Russia]]

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an American-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over the economy: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). As that number has further increased to at least 17 by the time of [[Sonichu 10|Sonichu #10]], which takes place only a month later, this problem has gotten even worse. The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to <s>shore up foreign currency reserves</s> gather funds for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind the currencies of {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their [[weening|ween]] ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of [[Australatina]]. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[chaotic combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

[[File:CWCvilleflag.png|thumb|Flag of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCkville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[Cwcisms| sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillies society call home.

And finally the furthest area apears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city) Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire cities traffic to a halt.

==Government and politics==

=== International Status ===
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

=== Governance ===

Despite on paper following the US model of the administration of a small town, the government is in practice a totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary]] [[Transformers|organizations]] who enjoy, behind closed doors, blanque cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exlcusively to him - similar to the real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance Argentine Anticommunist Alliance].

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government for the longest time was a "King/Queen thing" for which there was no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There is no seperation of power, nor any checks on the Mayor's authority, the non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building. Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. Furthermore, there is a complete lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, nor legalized codified or even organized opposition. The only known opposition figure was, till her capture, [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] leading a hopeless insurgency and for that was vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]].

The Mayor attempts to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

The executive is completely controlled by the Mayor, with the police force, the so called "[[CWCstapo]]," answering directly to him only and arresting people who they deem [[trolls|personally opposed]] to the mayor at random.
The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice disturbingly mirrors many of the hallmarks of Nazi Germany's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts]. During the [[Sonichu_10|Trial of the Asperpedia Four]] the judge is overtly biased in the Mayor's favor, no public defender is provided and the main defendent is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The prosecution dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a legally unrecognized paramilitary organization, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and paramilitaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri war]] are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an american-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over the economy: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]].

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[chaotic combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[Image:0823-EP12-5P6-3.jpg|thumb|left|The toys that started it all.]]
[[Image:CWCvilleMapProper.jpg|thumb|200px|Sonichu and Rosechu's welfare housing in relation to the rest of CWCville (note their postal code is the same as Chris's birthday and its address is nearly identical to his real address).]]
[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCkville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[Cwcisms| sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillies society call home.

And finally the furthest area apears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city) Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire cities traffic to a halt.

==Government and politics==

=== International Status ===
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

=== Governance ===

Despite on paper following the US model of the administration of a small town, the government is in practice a totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary]] [[Transformers|organizations]] who enjoy, behind closed doors, blanque cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exlcusively to him - similar to the real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance Argentine Anticommunist Alliance].

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government for the longest time was a "King/Queen thing" for which there was no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There is no seperation of power, nor any checks on the Mayor's authority, the non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building. Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. Furthermore, there is a complete lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, nor legalized codified or even organized opposition. The only known opposition figure was, till her capture, [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] leading a hopeless insurgency and for that was vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]].

The Mayor attempts to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

The executive is completely controlled by the Mayor, with the police force answering directly to him only and arresting people at random.
The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice disturbingly mirrors many of the hallmarks of Nazi Germany's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts]. During the [[Sonichu_10|Trial of the Asperpedia Four]] the judge is overtly biased in the Mayor's favor, no public defender is provided and the main defendent is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The prosecution dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a legally unrecognized paramilitary organization, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and paramilitaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri war]] are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an american-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over the economy: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to shore up foreign <s>currency reserves</s> spending money for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[chaotic combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[Image:CWCvilleMapProper.jpg|thumb|200px|Sonichu and Rosechu's welfare housing in relation to the rest of CWCville (note their postal code is the same as Chris's birthday and its address is nearly identical to his real address).]]
[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCkville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[Cwcisms| sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillies society call home.

And finally the furthest area apears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city) Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire cities traffic to a halt.

[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

=== Governance ===

Despite on paper following the US model of the administration of a small town, the government is in practice a totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary]] [[Transformers|organizations]] who enjoy, behind closed doors, blanque cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exlcusively to him - similar to the real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance Argentine Anticommunist Alliance].

According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government for the longest time was a "King/Queen thing" for which there was no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> There is no seperation of power, nor any checks on the Mayor's authority, the non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building. Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. Furthermore, there is a complete lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, nor codified or even organized opposition.

The Mayor attempts to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

The police force answering directly to the Mayor only and arresting people at random. Till her capture, [[Mary Lee Walsh|the dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] was leading a hopeless resistance and for that was vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]].
The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice disturbingly mirrors many of the hallmarks of Nazi Germany's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts]. During the [[Sonichu_10|Trial of the Asperpedia Four]] the judge is overtly biased in the Mayor's favor, no public defender is provided and the main defendent is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The prosecution dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a legally unrecognized paramilitary organization, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and paramilitaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri war]] are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an american-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over the economy: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to shore up foreign <s>currency reserves</s> spending money for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite its leader's claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|separation of powers]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[chaotic combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name suggests, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[Image:CWCvilleMapProper.jpg|thumb|200px|Sonichu and Rosechu's welfare housing in relation to the rest of CWCville (note their postal code is the same as Chris's birthday and its address is nearly identical to his real address).]]
[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] is bolstered by his ability to retreat to CWCville, 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 the [[Jerkops]], and bringing his dead dog [[Patti Chandler]] back to life in the form of the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts is due to the fact that in CWCville his will is supreme. This serves as a safety blanket that protects his physically and mentally feeble self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned with people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seed of CWCville was planted early in Chris's life. An avid [[LEGO]] enthusiast, Chris eventually put all of his completed LEGO kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In [[February 2011]], Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in [[2001]].<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in [[2003]]. This spelling features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris's stunted imagination granted him only the title of mayor. Based on his maps, CWCkville consists of so few buildings that it would more accurately qualify as a village or hamlet, although this could be a consequence of his physical and mental limitations. He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule; a different character rules it instead of Chris's self-insert. All this suggests that at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early [[Nathanael_Greene_Elementary_School|grade school]] age child.

In late-[[2017]] Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]]. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of [[Ruckersville]] and nearby [[Charlottesville]]. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait that is typically seen only in young children who lack basic life experience. One might hope that Chris's ability to understand scope and relevance had improved, but he has instead become only more delusional.

One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from [[2000]] featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In [[2020]], Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in [[2017]], as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change its ZIP Code.</ref> On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guys]] (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

===Architecture and City Structure===

[[Sonichu 1| In the earliest renditions of Sonichu]] the city of CWCville looked to have far more in common with a small village rather than something that would resemble a city; the "city" at this point in time appears to consist of little more than 8 locations (3 to 4 of which are residential, 3 private businesses, station square and the [[Zapbud]] field which may count as public property) poorly connected to each over via the use of dirt roads that don't seem to quite fit together properly.

Evidentially after this issue, the city saw some major construction projects drastically expanding the city into a {{w|Brutalist_architecture|brutalist's}} [[Cwcisms| sticky dream]].

The City appears to be [[Autism| strictly segmented]] into numerous districts, starting from the left the CWCville mall/mayors office stands alone surrounded only by (presumably) it's own car park taking up a total 0.25 square miles or 0.402336² km, across the street there is the CWCville park which takes up the exact same amount of space.

Next door to the mall is the "Subdivision" areas which act as residential buildings for some of the cities residents including [[Sonichu]] himself and his family.

Further right we find 2 more commercial buildings, on the northern side is the target mini-mart and the southern side is the Wal-Mart mini mart; despite each being 1/4 the size of the CWCville mall they both seemingly lack parking areas.

Even further to the right there appears to be the main city; the city itself apparently stretches an exact 10 square miles on both sides of the street and consists almost entirely of skyscraper buildings and brutalist block style residential areas which presumably the lower classes of CWCvillies society call home.

And finally the furthest area apears to be mountain range, also a quarter mile in size.

Despite the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germania_(city)| Germania] style of restructuring; the roads remain badly thought out and barely usable. Although the roads now actually utilized tarmac instead of simple dirt there appears to be only one major road leading through the entire city from beginning to end, with no consideration for pedestrians or even how cars meant to turn around since the city ends abruptly against a mountain. With the city cut directly in half the only plausible way anyone from the northern half could reach the southern half would be on foot since any attempt whatsoever to cross in a car would best case scenario bring the entire cities traffic to a halt.

==Government and politics==

=== International Status ===
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Note how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Also observe that Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is in theory part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to [[United States of America|U.S. ideals]]. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

=== Governance ===

Despite claiming to be a multi-party democracy following the US model, the government is in practice a borderline totalitarian dictatorship. The government's grasp on power being almost exclusively maintained through arbitrary violence and terror dished out by legally unrecognized [[Chaotic Combo|paramilitary organizations]] who enjoy, behind closed doors, blanque cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exlcusively to him; similar to the real life [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentine_Anticommunist_Alliance Argentine Anticommunist Alliance].

For the longest time elections were nonexistent, with a further lack of state sanctioned interest groups to make their voices heard, or codified or even organized opposition. The Mayor attempts to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]].

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

There is no seperation of power, or any checks on the Mayor's authority, with the police force answering directly to the Mayor only and arresting people at random. [[Mary Lee Walsh|The dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]]. The judiciary is similarly serving as little but a rubber-stamp for the often arbitrary whims of the ruling elite: Walsh was captured, deposed, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are deposed, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. When [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people — [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] — are arrested and subjected to a show trial less than a week later, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor.

The court system in practice mirrors disturbing hallmarks of the Nazi era [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Court_(Germany) People's Courts], with the judge being overtly biased in the Mayor's favor, no public defender being provided with the main defendent being permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. The prosecution dishes out draconian punishments, considering slander via the [[Asperpedia]] (which was destroyed by Chris) punishable by death. Evidence gathered using [[Magi-Chan|Magi-Chan's]] psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

===Sociopolitical issues and human rights===

[[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, while possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute [[homosexuals]], and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies in the face of the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this quality of CWCville is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and mercenaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri]] war are sent to be reformed.

===Elections===
According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government was a "King/Queen thing" for which there is no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building.<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref> The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville). Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. In all, CWCVille's government more resembles an absolute monarchy or the Roman Republic under Caesar than any American polity.

Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election]]</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>[[November 2017 tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election]]</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

===Recent Developments===

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In [[February 2017]], prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Strangely, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real-life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is [[stress|too much]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

==Economy==

CWCville's economy on paper operates under an american-style free market economy, yet in practice the Mayor exercises considerable control over the economy: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura. Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to shore up foreign <s>currency reserves</s> spending money for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]]
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla who didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] was still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Chicago, Cincinnati, Colorado Springs, Corpus Christi, [[Ohio trip|Columbus or Cleveland]], for example, were so much less important than it.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite it's leaders claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|seperation of power]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[chaotic combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CWCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CWCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name would suggest, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] stems from the fact that he can retreat to CWCville, 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 the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts, such as defeating a whole army of huge [[Jerkop]]s and resurrecting his dead dog, is due to the fact that in CWCville, his will is supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned by people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seeds of CWCville were planted early into Chris's life. At some point, Chris put all of his completed [[LEGO]] kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In February 2011, Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in 2001.<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in 2003. This spelling consecutively features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Despite his massive ego, it was only in late-2017 when Chris stopped being mayor of a town, and became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]] instead. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview, in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of Ruckersville and nearby Charlottesville. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait which is typically seen only in young children who have yet to experience enough of life to develop an understanding that there is more to the world than their immediate surroundings. Yet even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy, in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris, in his stunted imagination, only titled himself mayor of a city, which based on his maps consists of so few buildings it would only qualify as a village or hamlet in real life (although this could also be explained by his physical and mental laziness). He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule, but he actually let someone else rule it. All this suggests that, at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early grade school age child.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from 2000 featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In 2020, Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac river, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places in relation to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in 2017, as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change their ZIP Code</ref> on 7 October, the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November, the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guy]]s (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

==Government and politics==
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Notice how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Note how Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is, in theory, part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice, it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to U.S. ideals. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

The Mayor attempts to dissuade accusations of dictatorship, claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, whereas he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]], even though many dictatorships ''are'' hereditary.<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

A self-proclaimed police force don't take orders from the civil authorities and lock people up at random. [[Mary Lee Walsh|The dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]]. [[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, whereas possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies completely against the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and mercenaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

The court system is a joke. Walsh was captured, depowered, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are depowered, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. However, when [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people - [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] are arrested and subjected to a show trial not even a week after, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor. The judge is biased in Chris's favor, when all judges should be impartial. Sean is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. Nobody suggests appointing a public defender for the four. The prosecutor adds on to the charges, considering slander via the Asperpedia (which was destroyed by Chris) punishable by death, when it is a mild offense in most jurisdictions. Evidence gathered using Magi-Chan's psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura.

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In February 2017, prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He has also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Instead, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was ever elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is too much [[stress]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

===Elections===
According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government was a "King/Queen thing" for which there is no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building.<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref> The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville). Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. In all, CWCVille's government more resembles an absolute monarchy or the Roman Republic under Caesar than any American polity.

Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

===Prison Camps===
{{Main|Operation BARBarossa}}

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri]] war are sent to be reformed.

==Economy==

CWCville runs under a command economy which Chris has near-total control over: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

Strangely enough, Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to shore up foreign <s>currency reserves</s> spending money for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]].
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] is still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 epidemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Cincinnati or [[Ohio trip|Cleveland]], for example, were less important than Charlottesville.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite it's leaders claims to the contrary, the country is a totalitarian dictatorship - sporting a pervasive [[Chris and religion#Delusions of godhood|personality cult]] around the leader, [[Sonichu 10#Trial of the Asperpedia Four|no independent judiciary]] nor any [[CWCville Mayoral Office|seperation of power]], [[Mailbag 31|mass surveillance]] of the populace as well as largely autonomous [[chaotic combo|paramilitary organizations]]. The [[CwCville#Economy|economy]] is almost exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the country's citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times [[CwCville#Elections|introduced and retracted again]]. The country has engaged in [[4-cent_garbage.com|state terrorism]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name would suggest, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[Image:CWCvilleMapProper.jpg|thumb|200px|Sonichu and Rosechu's welfare housing in relation to the rest of CWCville (note their postal code is the same as Chris's birthday and its address is nearly identical to his real address).]]
[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] stems from the fact that he can retreat to CWCville, 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 the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts, such as defeating a whole army of huge [[Jerkop]]s and resurrecting his dead dog, is due to the fact that in CWCville, his will is supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned by people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seeds of CWCville were planted early into Chris's life. At some point, Chris put all of his completed [[LEGO]] kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In February 2011, Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in 2001.<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in 2003. This spelling consecutively features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Despite his massive ego, it was only in late-2017 when Chris stopped being mayor of a town, and became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]] instead. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview, in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of Ruckersville and nearby Charlottesville. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait which is typically seen only in young children who have yet to experience enough of life to develop an understanding that there is more to the world than their immediate surroundings. Yet even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy, in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris, in his stunted imagination, only titled himself mayor of a city, which based on his maps consists of so few buildings it would only qualify as a village or hamlet in real life (although this could also be explained by his physical and mental laziness). He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule, but he actually let someone else rule it. All this suggests that, at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early grade school age child.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from 2000 featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In 2020, Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac river, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places in relation to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in 2017, as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change their ZIP Code</ref> on 7 October, the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November, the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guy]]s (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

==Government and politics==
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Notice how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Note how Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is, in theory, part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice, it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to U.S. ideals. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

The Mayor attempts to dissuade accusations of dictatorship, claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, whereas he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]], even though many dictatorships ''are'' hereditary.<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

A self-proclaimed police force don't take orders from the civil authorities and lock people up at random. [[Mary Lee Walsh|The dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]]. [[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, whereas possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies completely against the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and mercenaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

The court system is a joke. Walsh was captured, depowered, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are depowered, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. However, when [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people - [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] are arrested and subjected to a show trial not even a week after, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor. The judge is biased in Chris's favor, when all judges should be impartial. Sean is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. Nobody suggests appointing a public defender for the four. The prosecutor adds on to the charges, considering slander via the Asperpedia (which was destroyed by Chris) punishable by death, when it is a mild offense in most jurisdictions. Evidence gathered using Magi-Chan's psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura.

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In February 2017, prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He has also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Instead, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was ever elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is too much [[stress]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

===Elections===
According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government was a "King/Queen thing" for which there is no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building.<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref> The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville). Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. In all, CWCVille's government more resembles an absolute monarchy or the Roman Republic under Caesar than any American polity.

Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

===Prison Camps===
{{Main|Operation BARBarossa}}

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri]] war are sent to be reformed.

==Economy==

CWCville runs under a command economy which Chris has near-total control over: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

Strangely enough, Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to shore up foreign <s>currency reserves</s> spending money for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]].
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] is still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 epidemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Cincinnati or [[Ohio trip|Cleveland]], for example, were less important than Charlottesville.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

{{quote|I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There [[Chris and English|is]] no elections.|[[Chris-chan Discusses...]], 2009}}

{{Quote|[Christine] has had emotions and more stress after being back in office, so she retired from being mayor, and gave the job back to Allison|Chris "retired" from being mayor of CWCville, 2017<ref>[[Sonichu 11]], pg. 46</ref>}}

'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville"), also stylized as '''Cwcville''', is an independent and self-governing city-state in northern [[Virginia]], [[United States]]. Despite it's leaders claims to the contrary, the country is a [[CWCville Mayoral Office|totalitarian dictatorship]] with many hallmarks of past regimes of its type - sporting a nigh all encompassing personality cult around the leader, no independent judiciary or seperation of power, as well as armed death squads. The economy is exclusively geared towards serving the whims of the ruling elite, with many of the countries citizens living in homeless shelters. Due to widespread discontent, elements of a façade democracy have been at times introduced and retracted again. The country has launched [[4-cent_garbage.com|terror attacks]] against neighboring countries in the past.

As the name would suggest, CWCville is derived from Chris's own initials, and serves as much of an exercise in [[Chris and his ego|boosting his ego]] as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|his self-insert's presence]] in ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a [[Lego]] city created in [[Chris's room|his own bedroom]], predating the webcomic. Additional lore provided over the years also indicated that Chris himself is not the founder of this city, but his father was, and he named it after his newborn son.

Chris believes that CWCville [[Chris and reality|actually exists]], and for many years used the city as a way to “[[Chris and coping|escape]]” from anything he [[Kick the Autistic|does not like]].<ref name="cwcville-reality">[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> Recently, Chris has used [[Dimensional Merge|other]] [[Messiah complex|means]] [[Spirit possession|of]] coping, and CWCville became part of the parallel dimension of [[C-197]], which he also believes to actually exist. Curiously, Chris has occasionally referred to [[Charlottesville, VA|Charlottesville]] as CWCville.

==Overview==
{{Quote|The city of CWCville, a vibrant community with happy people, [[boyfriend-free girl|cool chicks]] and a [[virgin with rage|frustrated male]]...|Narrator, [[Sonichu 2|''Sonichu'' #2]]<ref>[[:File:Sonichu - Episode 9, Page 6.jpg]]</ref>}}

[[File:cwcville1.jpg|thumb|200px|A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.]]

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Northern [[Virginia]] of which [[Chris]] was Mayor-for-Life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect [[Chris and his Ego|his bias toward himself]]. As his ideal metropolitan community, CWCville illustrates Chris's poor understanding of how a city actually functions. Like everything else that appears in [[Sonichu (comic)|his comic]], Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref><ref name="cwcville-reality"/> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life.

It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[Chris and his Ego|ego]] stems from the fact that he can retreat to CWCville, 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 the anthropomorphic [[Patti-Chan]]. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts, such as defeating a whole army of huge [[Jerkop]]s and resurrecting his dead dog, is due to the fact that in CWCville, his will is supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world, where he holds no such power.

Chris is greatly concerned by people who are misinformed about any detail of CWCville, or conclude that it is anything but "a clean, secure, orderly and safe city."<ref>[[Mailbag 35#Except when half of it gets destroyed by giant robots]]</ref> After being coerced into declaring [[BILLY MAYS]] the new Mayor of CWCville,<ref>[[March 2009]]</ref> Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."<ref> Chris-chan discusses </ref> <ref>[[Mumble 11|Mumble #11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034421/http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32(Archive)]</ref> Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.

The seeds of CWCville were planted early into Chris's life. At some point, Chris put all of his completed [[LEGO]] kits, original LEGO creations, and various handmade ''Sonichu'' items together on one table in his room. In February 2011, Chris claimed to have finally disassembled the LEGO model, but he insisted that the city "still stands strong today within my own mind and hands."<ref>[[Autism Tutorial Part 2]]</ref>

The first official CWCville media was made in 2001.<ref>[[The City of Cwicville Tour!]]</ref> After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"<ref>[[Animal Crossing Documentary|''Animal Crossing'' Documentary]]</ref> in 2003. This spelling consecutively features the initials of his full name and its pronunciation must be explained to others, indicative of CWCville's nature as a self-serving and insular fantasy.

Despite his massive ego, it was only in late-2017 when Chris stopped being mayor of a town, and became goddess of an [[C-197|entire dimension]] instead. Chris's earlier restraint may be due to his extremely limited worldview, in which his entire world centers around his immediate surroundings, namely his hometown of Ruckersville and nearby Charlottesville. This weak sense of one's surroundings is a trait which is typically seen only in young children who have yet to experience enough of life to develop an understanding that there is more to the world than their immediate surroundings. Yet even in his ultimate self-serving fantasy, in which he's given himself unchecked power for life, Chris, in his stunted imagination, only titled himself mayor of a city, which based on his maps consists of so few buildings it would only qualify as a village or hamlet in real life (although this could also be explained by his physical and mental laziness). He later created the land of [[RuleCWC]], a Sonichu [[Things Chris has ripped off|ripoff]] of Hyrule, but he actually let someone else rule it. All this suggests that, at least in terms of his understanding of the world, Chris lags behind even an early grade school age child.

==Etymology==
One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade ''Pokémon'' cards]] from 2000 featured a "'''Cwick City''' Gym", while [[City of Cwicville Tour!|an unfinished Game Boy Camera project]] dating from [[2001]] used the spellings "'''Cwicville'''" and "'''Cwickville'''". A sign on the door to his room used to read "Christian W. Chandler's Cwickville City Gym". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate [[Chris and his ego|his massive ego]] as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense. (Although Christown, Chandlerville, etc. would have been just as good and made a lot more sense.)

== In-universe history ==

According to [[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu'' 8]], Chris’s father, [[Bob Chandler]], founded CWCville in [[1982]].<ref>[[Sonichu 8|''Sonichu #8'']], [[Episode 18]], [[:File:Sonichu - Episode 18, Page 8.jpg|page 8]].</ref> It is unclear why it was not called Robertville: in fact, there are barely any records and symbols of the old regime – similar to the Roman practice of ''{{w|damnatio memoriae}}'', where all records of a traitor (statues, inscriptions, etc.) are erased after his death.

One fan theory is that Bob served as a regent while Chris was growing up, since there are {{w|Zaifeng, Prince Chun|real life}} {{w|Mswati III|examples}}: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a [[Chris and his ego|pro-Chris spin]]), it is safe to assume that Bob was alive when passing CWCville over to Chris. Another fan theory for Bob’s absence from the comics is that Chris overthrew Bob and secretly imprisoned him in an unknown location, but Chris’s stunted writing ability, laziness and ad-hoc manner of storytelling, indicates that Chris simply left Bob out of the comics.

== Geography and location ==

[[File:CWCville's zip code.png |thumb|CWCville's zip code, prior to the [[Idea Guy]] Saga.]]

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of [[Virginia]],<ref>''[[Sonichu #3]]'', [[Sub-Episode 4]], page 4.</ref> but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started promoting the [[Dimensional Merge]]. According to [[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]], one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.<ref>''[[Sonichu 6|Sonichu #6]]'', [[Episode 12.5]], page 8.</ref> Today, Chris uses so-called “[[Meditation#Third_eye|meditation]] sessions” to get there.

In 2020, Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of {{w|Fredericksburg, Virginia}}:<ref>[[Discord Q&A 10#CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)|Discord Q&A 10, “CWCville's Sister City (and Sports Teams)” section]]</ref> he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac river, east of Fredericksburg,<ref>[https://osm.org/go/ZZYfsOAc?m= OpenStreetMap location]</ref> claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.<ref>[[The Journey to the Merge#Pebble Beach|The Journey to the Merge, “Pebble Beach” section]]</ref> The exact locations of key CWCville places in relation to the [[Dimension 1218|real world]], such as the [[CWCville Mall]], remain unclear.

CWCville's {{w|ZIP Code}} was originally [[Chris's birthday|02024-1982]], an unused code {{w|List of ZIP Code prefixes#Starts with 0|available}} for Brockton, Massachusetts:<ref>''[[Sonichu #8]]'', [[Episode 17]], page 1.</ref> the correct ZIP code (at least during the infill era) would have started with 22, like [[Ruckersville]] (22968). Chris has changed the ZIP Code twice in 2017, as if it was possible through <s>dictatorial</s> mayoral decree:<ref>In reality, US law has several conditions for a town to change their ZIP Code</ref> on 7 October, the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real ''[[Spanish|Mexican]]'' postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.<ref>[[October 2017 Facebook posts#CWCville's zip code|October 2017 Facebook posts § CWCville's zip code]]</ref> On 19 November, the ZIP Code changed to 69488, raising suspicions that the [[Idea Guy]]s (who were active around the time) may be responsible: 69488 is the postal code for {{w|Birkenau (Odenwald)|Birkenau}} in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

; Variations from the canon

There was an exception in [[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]], which had a map that placed CWCville near Pallet Town and Giovanni's Gym in Viridian City, featured in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series and located in Kanto, an area based on the {{w|Kantō region}} in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near {{w|Sonic Adventure#Gameplay|Station Square}}, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.<ref>''[[Sonichu 1|''Sonichu'' #1]]'', [[Episode 5]], page 12.</ref>

==Government and politics==
[[Image:CWCvilleArea.jpg|thumb|Map of CWCville area. Notice how [[Sonic]]'s house is bigger than the entirety of Pallet Town. Also, if you look at Station Square, you'll notice Chris's obsession with the [[Twin Falling Towers|World Trade Center]]. Note how Chris [[Obesity|needs an arrow]] [[Chris and his Ego|pointing to himself]]]]

CWCville is, in theory, part of the [[United States of America]], but in practice, it seems to be a quasi-independent city-state, similar to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEayQ0T-qA Hong Kong or Macau] in [[China]]. The city does not follow American electoral law, uses its own currency, and has several characteristics anathema to U.S. ideals. The city seems more like the private domain of the Mayor than part of a larger federation.

[[Image:CWCville.jpg|thumb|This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.]]
[[File:Riots_in_cwcville_SB.jpg|thumb|An artist's representation of a riot in CWCville. [[August 2020 social media posts#Very Distant alt-timeline|Chris did not approve.]]]]

The Mayor attempts to dissuade accusations of dictatorship, claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, whereas he [[Mailbag 34#Apparently North Korea's not a dictatorship|inherited the town from his father]], even though many dictatorships ''are'' hereditary.<ref>*The {{w|Assad family|Assad dynasty}} in Syria *The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti *The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo *The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran </ref>

[[File:SchuComic10P78.jpg|thumb|left|The Mayor addresses his people (DP [[Nazis|Leni Riefenstahl]], 1935, colorized).]]

A self-proclaimed police force don't take orders from the civil authorities and lock people up at random. [[Mary Lee Walsh|The dean]] of [[Private Villa of Corrupted Citizens|the only college]] is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the [[Sonichu (comic)|mayoral-controlled press]]. [[Attraction Sign|Soliciting sex]] is legal in CWCville, whereas possession of [[tobacky|tobacco]] is a very serious offense. [[Alcohol]] was illegal until 2009, when the ban was [[Chris's Big Night Out|rescinded]]. Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]. This constant Orwellian surveillance, which is obviously done under the guise of "protecting" the citizens, flies completely against the basic human right to privacy. Since there is no plausible way to oversee or contest an official with the capability of ultra-human powers, it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have [[Chris and the Law#In the comic|immunity from prosecution]].<ref>[[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3]]</ref> This goes against the concept of supremacy of law that is the very foundation of modern societies; some sociologists have pointed out that this is in fact the hallmark of all police states. It must be reiterated that Chris genuinely believes that CWCville is a good place to live.

Despite all this perceived military and law enforcement might, the police and mercenaries demonstrably offer little real protection or competence: troublemakers like [[Wes Iseli]] ruin weddings with near impunity, and the [[Mary Lee Walsh|dissident leaders]] remained at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].

The court system is a joke. Walsh was captured, depowered, and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[Jerkop|Jerkops]] and [[Manajerks]] are depowered, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. However, when [[Simonla Rosechu]] was murdered by a Voltorb, four people - [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], Sean, and [[Mao]] are arrested and subjected to a show trial not even a week after, despite earlier receiving a public pardon from the Mayor. The judge is biased in Chris's favor, when all judges should be impartial. Sean is permitted to defend himself and his fellow co-defendants, despite being clearly under the influence of drugs. Nobody suggests appointing a public defender for the four. The prosecutor adds on to the charges, considering slander via the Asperpedia (which was destroyed by Chris) punishable by death, when it is a mild offense in most jurisdictions. Evidence gathered using Magi-Chan's psychic powers is considered admissible in court. When the four are found guilty by a clearly biased jury, they are immediately executed in cruel and inhumane ways.

CWCville also pays for the [[TrollBusters]]' private jet,<ref name="Jackie Chat #3">[[Jackie Chat 3|Jackie Chat #3]]</ref> and the Mayor's hedgehog friends receive free housing, credit cards and other gifts from his office, not unlike Soviet nomenklatura.

[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]

In February 2017, prompted by President [[Pmurt]], Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,<ref>[[February 2017 Facebook Posts#CWCville is a sanctuary city]]</ref> [[Things Chris has ripped off|mirroring a proposal by Charlottesville's real-life mayor]]. He has also suggested that CWCville does not recognize Trump as president at all, lending further credence to the theory that CWCville is not actually part of the United States. Instead, he claims that Vladimir Putin, the real life president of Russia, is the president of the United states.

Between his Facebook posts and new issues of ''Sonichu'', Chris has revealed significant changes to CWCville since [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]], showing that during the hiatus of [[Sonichu 11]], he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his [[autism|mind]].

*Chris is no longer the mayor. [[Allison Amber]], formerly the mayor's secretary, took up the role. The circumstances of Chris's resignation are unclear, and it is unknown whether Amber was ever elected or if CWCville remains a dictatorship.

*Chris gave himself the position of the city's [[Ego|creator]] instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is too much [[stress]] for him. Of course, his new position still earns Chris VIP treatment from the townspeople.

*The city has become ''even more'' of a police-state, with [[Magi-Chan]] reading the minds of the populace to determine if anybody poses a threat. Ironically, this solution is far more extreme than anything President Trump has done, including his executive order to shut down entry from select countries, which Chris has criticized.

*On the other hand, [[Sonichu 12|''Sonichu'' #12]] shows CWCville celebrating its [[SLGBTQ]] pride festival, indicating a reversal of Chris's long-standing homophobia and possibly a continuation of Chris's repeal-by-fiat in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]] of the city's anti-gay legislation.

===Elections===
According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government was a "King/Queen thing" for which there is no voting.<ref>[[Samantha Thaddeus E-mails]]</ref> The non-elected leader does what he pleases as Mayor-for-Life with supreme power, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the CWCville Trade Center Building.<ref>[[Mailbag 5|Mailbag #5]]</ref> The right to vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]] (though [[Women's rights|apparently not to women]], as some women are seen [[Sonichu 8#Episode_17:_Epilogue|protesting]] in order to gain suffrage in CWCville). Despite allowing elections for Board of Director Members,<ref>[[Mailbag 37|Mailbag #37]]</ref> Chris shows that they still hold no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the Mayor is not obligated to listen to. For example, he does not discuss attacking the [[4-cent garbage.com]] building with them, he just tells them the "game plan" as a ''fait accompli''. In all, CWCVille's government more resembles an absolute monarchy or the Roman Republic under Caesar than any American polity.

Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to [[Crystal Weston Chandler (sister)|his sister Crystal]] in [[Sonichu 10|''Sonichu'' #10]],<ref>[[Miyamoto_Saga#From_Chris_to_Miyamoto]]</ref> but later decided not to. On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS was the new Mayor of CWCville. The next day, Chris revoked his edict that made MAYS the new Mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in [[Chris's room|his bedroom]]. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST, his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS was still the Mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS died in his mayoral mansion, allegedly due to a cocaine overdose, but the hand of Chandler was suspected. The city was plunged into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris chan Discusses|post-coup interview]] that {{w|Doublethink|he was always the ruler}} and that there would be no further elections.

However, Chris eventually lost interest in being the mayor. By some point prior to 2017, he handed over the role to [[Allison Amber]].

[[File:CWCville mayor Brendan Frasier.png|thumb|200px|CWCville's mayor, 2017 - 2021.]]

In November 2017, an [[Idea Guy]] tricked Chris into believing that an election was to take place, with several candidates running.<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_tweets#CWCville_mayoral_election</ref> He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

*[[Brendan Fraser]] - An American actor known for his role in the ''Mummy'' movies, who became a meme due to his career decline and heavy alimony payments ([https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/brendan-frasers-alimony-just-fuck-my-shit-up link])
*[[Mao|Mao Zedong]] - communist leader of [[China]] between 1949 and 1976
*[[Allison Amber]] - then mayor of CWCville, formerly Chris's secretary
*{{w|Augusto Pinochet}} - Chilean dictator from 1973 to 1990
*{{w|Vladimir Putin}} - Current President of Russia

A few hours later, he deleted his poll and created a new one, claiming some of the candidates had dropped out. His new candidates were:

*Bob McKendrick - A character from the video game ''PAYDAY 2'', who tried running for mayor of the DC Metro area
*Vladimir Putin
*Brendan Fraser

He later deleted this poll as well. Brendan Fraser won the election and took office as mayor.<ref>[[December 2017 Facebook posts#Jamsta molested Punchy]]</ref>

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were<ref>https://sonichu.com/cwcki/November_2017_tweets#CWCville_Chief_of_Police_election</ref>:

*[[Wikipedia:Manuel Pardo (serial killer)|Manuel Pardo Jr]] - a [[jerkop]] and serial killer executed in 2012
*[[Ian Brandon Anderson]]
*{{w|Manuel Noreiga|Man-Ewell Noriega}} [''sic''] - Dictator of Panama from 1983 to 1989
*{{w|Ed Gein|Edward Geen}} [''sic''] - A notorious murderer and body snatcher who was known as the real American Psycho.

Ian Brandon Anderson ended up winning with 65% of the votes.

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[April 2021 social media posts#Twilight Sparkle and CWCVille]]</ref> While in jail, Chris said that Walsh remained mayor: ''"Who has Time for Elections when us Goddesses Defend Cwcville (The City Of) from Rei freaking Ryghts, Eggman, Bowser, Giovanni, and so-on on occassion, and we have the Dimension Merge Completed and the Collective Shift in Progress, then we have my Second Coming on 1218 Earth. Not to Mention the Damage Control and Prevention that are beyond Non(Super)-Powerful Individuals' Control, anyway."''<ref>[[Jail Letter - 8 November 2021 (RadioRabbit0)]]</ref>

===Prison Camps===
{{Main|Operation BARBarossa}}

As of November 2017, CWCville also houses multiple prison camps on the outskirts, where enemies from the [[Hyperdimension Neptunia|Gamindustri]] war are sent to be reformed.

==Economy==

CWCville runs under a command economy which Chris has near-total control over: the [[KCWC|radio station]] and [[CWC Cola|soft drink company]] are named after the Mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. The banning of goods that the Mayor disapproves of has also contributed to the city's financial troubles. [[Tobacky|Tobacco]], unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry, which by all reasonable analysis, means it is very likely one of the single most-smuggled contraband items into CWCville writ large, fetching black marketeers windfall profits.

As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], ten homeless shelters have been set up: Chris himself claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house a population of 900-1,800 indigents, and come equipped with free cable TV.<ref>[[Mailbag 20|Mailbag #20]]</ref> This means that the small city of CWCville has a homeless population of at least 10,000 (in comparison, the entire nation of Japan has just over 6,000<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population</ref>). The Mayor's personal friends, such as [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]], live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for [[Wild Sonichu]].<ref>[[Sonichu 9|''Sonichu'' #9]], [[Episode 19]], Page 21</ref>

Strangely enough, Sonichu and Rosechu, both being too lazy to work, get $3,500 per month, (as shown in [[Mailbag 21]]), which is unusually a large sum of [[Chris and money|money]] for a [[monthly tugboat]]. This, also coupled with the unusually high homelessness rate, could tell us that CWCville possibly severely overtaxes its citizens to feed its [[Christian Weston Chandler (comic character)|delusional, power-hungry dictator's]] multiple [[Dating Education|vanity]] [[TrollBusters|projects]].

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of [[Kevin the Jew|jews]] and [[Inos|immigrants]], like new york," and is on the stock exchange.<ref name="Jackie Chat #3"/>

=== Currency ===

[[File:Cwccash.jpg|thumb|CWCville currency]]

CWCville also mints its own currency, the '''CWCville quarter'''. It first came to prominence in ''[[Sonichu 9|Sonichu #9]]'', and comes in only two coins: the C-Quarter and the W-Quarter. Ten C-Quarters make one W-Quarter, indicating that Chris has [[Honor roll|no idea what "quarter" means]]. The W-Quarter is round and golden in color, with a silver edge and a red "W", while the C-Quarter is C-shaped and sky blue with a silver edge. Both appear to reference Chris's publishing house logo at the time, which notably appeared on the [[CWCipedia]]. CWCville still issue fines in US dollars for unknown reasons: most likely, to shore up foreign <s>currency reserves</s> spending money for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,<ref>[https://twitter.com/CPU_CWCSonichu/status/1196903997300498434 Tweet] by @CPU_CWCSonichu, on 19 November 2019.</ref> and assuming that {{w|SIX Interbank Clearing}} chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 1 = {{w|US Dollar|{{abbr|USD|US Dollar}}}} 2.50,<ref>CW is actually the country code for Curaçao, and the currency code is merely for demonstration purposes.</ref> which puts the CWCville quarter only behind {{w|Kuwaiti dinar|Kuwait}}, {{w|Bahraini dinar|Bahrain}} and {{w|Omani rial|Oman}} in terms of purchasing power.<ref>[https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 XE.com exchange rates] for 1 January 2020 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20200410043434/https://www.xe.com/currencytables/?from=USD&date=2020-01-01 archived] on 10 April 2020).</ref> In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing [[Financhu Crisis|debt crisis]] in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… {{w|Hungarian pengő#End of the pengő|something like}} {{abbr|USD|US Dollar}} 1 = {{abbr|CWQ|CWCville quarter}} 4×1029.

== The Invasion of CWCville ==
{{main|Sonichu 13}}
[[File:IdeaGuyMap.jpeg|thumb|A map created by [[Idea Guy]] Joshua Wise]].
After years of insanity and borderline totalitarianism, things finally seemed to be improving for the citizens of CWCville. Chris had stepped down as mayor, Magi-Chan was no longer spying on the populace due to his duties as Chris' husband, and beloved American film actor [[Brendan Fraser]] was elected as Chris' successor, ensuring CWvCille would no longer be an ego-driven police state and would also be protected from evil mummies. Under Fraser's benevolent rule, it seemed like CWCville would finally be a free and happy place. Unfortunately, this newfound peace and prosperity would not last long, due to the corruptions of the Idea Guys and their ween ideas. The Idea Guys convinced Chris that CWCville was under attack by various different villains and factions, placing it in a frenzied state of war. First invaded by villains from Hyperdimension Neptunia, the invaders were quickly beaten back and put into CWCville's newly established prison camps.

Later, the city was invaded by the neighboring nation of Australatina. The Australatinas managed to wipe out most of CWCville's military, who were forced to fight a war on two fronts when the city erupted into mass riots. The Underground tunnels beneath CWCville (presumably created by Simonla didn't want to ride the fucking bus like a normal person) collapsed, causing mass devastation and splitting the city into two sides: East and West. The Australatinas then pledged their loyalty to invading Nazis, who began ethically cleansing CWCville. They successfully captured most of Chris' hedgehog Pokemon and wiped out most of the wild Pokemon around CWCville. Chris' characters were brutally executed but quickly respawned. The female Sonichus were all raped and impregnated until they were freed by Chris. The Nazis were finally beaten back and the city was rebuilt.

Despite all of their reckless bumbling, the Idea Guys managed to do something no one could ever imagine was possible: make CWCville an even worse shithole. Sure, under Chris' reign the city was a manchild's playground escape fantasy with Orwellian undertones, but at least you could get a job at Taco Bell and live a reasonably peaceful life if you didn't smoke or call the mayor a tard. Once the Idea Guys took over, the city became a living hell filled with constant death and destruction with forced labor, rape, and death camps. The lesson is simple: being ruled by a bumbling and incompetent but well-meaning manchild might be bad, but being ruled by murderous nazis is at least moderately worse.

== CWCville's Restoration ==
Chris has been rather inconsistent with what parts of Sonichu 13 were actually canon and which parts he discarded. Regardless, the city was restored to its Pre-War state and all the nightmarish changes were reversed. Presumably, the timeline was fixed and all the characters returned to their normal lives, and [[Brendan Fraser]] is still the mayor, with Ian Brandon Anderson serving as his Chief of Police.

With the Nazis, evil CPUs and reality-warping demons all defeated and a fantastic actor once again leading the city, CWCville has presumably finally become a somewhat decent place, even if everything there is ass-backwards and totally absurd. Chris has written very little about CWCville following the events of Issue 13. However, Chris claimed that he attended Babscon there in 2020. CWCville, and presumably all of Dimension C-197 was totally unaffected by the COVID-19 epidemic.

== Twin towns ==

[[File:1920px-2008-0830-Charlottesville-DowntownMall.jpg|thumb|left|CWCville, as portrayed by Chris in his videos.]]

CWCville appears to be twinned with [[Charlottesville, Virginia]], the largest and most familiar urban environment in Chris's life.

Chris has made many connections between the two cities, mainly as a result of his narrow perception of the outside world: for example, Chris presented footage of Charlottesville as that of CWCville,<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.<ref name=p32/> Chris also stated that CWCville is as important and worthy of respect as every American city that begins with "C", but mentioned only Charlottesville by name, calling it "the most important one" of these "C-Villes"; as if Cincinnati or [[Ohio trip|Cleveland]], for example, were less important than Charlottesville.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref>

Ursatron: Added theory of Chris possibly suffering from Schizotypal personality disorder

{{Articleofthenow}}
{{quote|You can only escape in your mental depths and recluse for so long before you are pulled back to reality, and too many things leave you feeling like you get little peace at home.|Chris, [[December 2016]], in a rare moment of self-awareness on his habit of escapism.<ref name=rare>[[December 2016 Facebook posts#State of CWC's life]]</ref>}}

[[File:30yrslater.jpg|thumb|250px|This is what Chris actually believes.]]
[[File:Ideaguy poster.jpg|thumb|right|250px|thumb|… for real.]]

'''Reality''' is a concept that Chris desperately tries to avoid acknowledging, instead retreating to the comfort of his imaginary world and hoping that reality will eventually bend to his whims. Many people with [[autism]] struggle to distinguish between reality and fantasy, but most make an effort to reduce the impact on their lives. Chris, on the other hand, embraces his realm of fantasy, especially as escapism from [[stress]], life responsibilities, and his bleak future, trapping himself in a feedback loop whereby his real-world life and issues are further neglected while his devotion to his fantasies gets stronger.

Notably, Chris believes that [[CWCville]] and his [[imaginary friends]] are real: Chris has been spotted conversing, interacting and [[BronyCon 2017#Dancing with Magi-Chan|dancing]] with them on many occasions, and even believes that he is [[Polyamorous marriage|married]] to imaginary people. Chris also holds many delusions of grandeur, from believing he has the power to curse people,<ref>According to [[Jackie Chat 5]] and [[Jackie E-mails 16]], Chris wrote that Sonichu was in Mary Lee Walsh’s office with him: he then pretended to be Sonichu himself and delivered a lecture, before using the [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha]] attack.</ref> to thinking he has [[PsychicPowers|psychic powers]], and even believing he is a [[CPU Blue Heart|goddess]] with the power to unite entire [[dimensions]] — and that this [[Dimensional Merge]] would make him rich and bring his fictional characters, and those of others, to life.

Chris's perception of reality has been on a downward spiral for most of his life, due to a lifetime of being coddled by his parents. Following the death of his [[father]] in 2011, and amid the increasing infirmity of his [[mother]], Chris was forced into shouldering more responsibilities which he was mentally ill-equipped to bear, and consequently, he invested more heavily in magical beliefs as solutions to the problems presented by reality. In 2017, the [[Idea Guys]], trolls who utilized role-playing as Chris's imaginary friends, further exacerbated Chris's grasp of reality, giving validation to his fantasies and encouraging him to stay rooted in his fantasy world — a trend continued at present-day by waves of [[enablers]].

Chris maintains his beliefs even in the face of mental health professionals — for nine months between summer 2018 and spring 2019, he was required to see a psychiatrist and therapy group at [[Region Ten]] and told them of his beliefs on his imaginary friends and multiple dimensions, to which their reaction was to simply hand-wave him through their program.

__TOC__

{{-}}

== Causes of Chris’s poor grip on reality ==

===Parental enabling===
Although autism is one major factor, [[Borb|his parents]] contributed a lot towards Chris’s warped perception of anyone or anything that antagonizes him: Bob and Barbara regularly fed Chris conciliatory platitudes about how he was mistreated out of jealousy, and that “special rules” exist for the benefit of autistic people. The platitudes cemented Chris’s [[Chris and his Ego|all-pervasive sense of entitlement]], as well as his indiscriminate belief that anything bad that happened to him was a conspiracy, whether or not it was caused by his [[slow-in-the-minds|stupidity]] or [[Chris and negotiation|stubbornness]].

===Psychological problems===

The only known formal diagnoses of Chris are [[autism]], dating from when he was five or six years old, and [[transgender|gender dysphoria]], officially diagnosed in 2016. However, his behavior in adulthood suggests he has undiagnosed issues.

Chris exhibits signs of [[Wikipedia:Maladaptive daydreaming|maladaptive daydreaming]], a psychiatric disorder comprised of vivid daydreams and excessive fantasies that can interfere with socializing or even replace it altogether. This behavior is observed in Chris with his [[imaginary friends]] and [[CWCville]], the [[Dimensional Merge]], and especially the [[polyamorous marriage]]. Maladaptive Daydreaming is also associated with pacing and musical stimulation. Eyewitness accounts of Chris such as [[The Tale of the Crazy Pacer]] mention these behaviors in him. Chris also stated that music from his phone is his method for [[meditation]].<ref>[[Live Reading of SNT Vs Sonichu, Part 2]]</ref>

[[File:I'm Done Adulting T-shirt.png|thumb|200px|Chris wearing his "I'm Done Adulting" T-shirt while begging for money and surrounded by toys in [[Patreon announcement]].]]

[[Wikipedia:Peter Pan syndrome|Peter Pan syndrome]] is a pop psychology term to describe those who are immature and refuse to grow up and accept adult responsibilities. Chris has demonstrated this with his refusal to seek [[work]], instead [[beg]]ging for money or ignoring his [[debt]] payments to afford more toys. An [[Debt hearing (eyewitness account)|eyewitness to one of Chris's debt hearings]] noted that Chris was "trying hard to revert to childhood", based on how he made childish noises during his time in the courtroom and talked back to his mother in a childlike voice. The Dimensional Merge represents Chris's ultimate desire to hide from adult responsibilities, as he believes it will grant his wildest power fantasies and enable him to continue living like a child. Chris's devotion to rejecting adult life has warped his perception of reality, as he spends all of his free time playing make-believe as if it were a religion.

A common theory since the Dimensional Merge saga unfolded is that Chris may have schizophrenia, based on his rantings about his imaginary world seeming as if he cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy. However, a closer look at Chris's ramblings shows that he's capable of discerning the difference, but avoids it in order to preserve his escapist fantasies. Unlike a schizophrenic, Chris will distinguish between reality (or as he calls it, [[1218]]) and his fantasy domain (named [[C-197]]).

{{quote|Damn Dimension 1218’s “Reality” Limits and Shit!!!|Chris's reaction when reality's dimension and his fantasy dimension did not merge as predicted,<ref>[[January 2019 social media posts]]</ref> a prime example of him being able to differentiate reality from his escapist fantasies.}}

{{quote|though not fully doable on the 1218 side of the Dimensional Curtain yet, [I am] able to draw up a water-to-wine conversion and vice-versa.|Chris<ref>[[Reddit]]</ref> showing he is aware he doesn't have super-powers in reality.}}

Also unlike a schizophrenic, Chris's fantasies do not involve paranoia or hallucinations and are entirely self-serving. While Chris has made statements implying he is hallucinating, such as when he insists he can see or interact with his [[imaginary friends]], he often omits that he uses techniques such as [[meditation]] or astral projection, another indicator that his issue is Maladaptive Daydreaming.

{{quote|I’ve had to commute to here, Dimension C-197, via astral projection [...] The tough part is having to leave my body behind in 1218. [...] Oh, but very soon, I shall finally, finally, be able to bring mys--body here to C-197.|Chris giving a rare explanation on how he delves into his fantasy world.<ref>[[A Moment With Dr Wolf Chris Chan and Greater Struggles]]</ref>}}

Chris' behavior and beliefs however align at least somewhat with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizotypal_personality_disorder| Schizotypal personality disorder], which is thought to exist on a spectrum with Schizophrenia. With him matching at least six of the nine diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5:

*ideas of reference (believing that [[Corona | certain]] generally innocuous [[Dimensional Merge | events ]] hold special meaning or messages for oneself)
*[[CPU Blue Heart | strange beliefs]] or [[magical thinking]] that [[Mary Lee Walsh | influences behavior]] and is inconsistent with [[Hyperdimension Neptunia | subcultural norms]]
*[[Imaginary friends | abnormal perceptual experiences, including bodily illusions]]
*[[Conspiracy theories | suspiciousness]] or [[Greene County Conspiracy | paranoid ideation]]
*[[Saga | strange behavior]] or [[Chris and fashion | appearance]]
*excessive social anxiety that does not diminish with familiarity and tends to be associated with paranoid fears rather than negative judgments about self, (whilst Chris was largely comfortable around his paid for [[Gal-Pal | companions]] during [[Manchester High School | High School]], his interaction with both the [[Love Quest | fairer sex]] and [[Man in the pickle suit | pickle bearers]] have since been riddled with [[Infinitely-High Boyfriend-Factor | paranoid fears]] and [[Manajerks | delusions]])

The last three symptoms however, namely:
*strange thinking and speech
*lack of close friends
*inappropriate or constricted affect
whilst also present in Chris, can be almost exclusively attributed to his [[autism]], much like his [[narcissism]]. Also Schizotypal individuals generally do not develop the [[CPU Blue Heart | grandiose delusions]] he has developed over the years and are generally reclusive. So further digging than internet armchair analysis is required which Chris of course is thanks to his [[Chris and mental healthcare | adamant refusal]] to seek out help voluntarily or benefit from professional help that is forced upon him, will not likely ever receive.

===Lack of grounding in the real world===
[[File:Artist_Depiction_of_Chris_mind.jpg|thumb|Artist's depiction of Chris's imaginary world collapsing in on itself.]]
Chris's lack of purpose, combined with his enormous [[ego]], further fuels his disconnection from reality, compelling him to instead seek out purpose with make-believe, such as being the mayor of [[CWCville]] and being the goddess [[CPU Blue Heart]].

Since the government provides for him with the [[monthly tugboat]] — along with money from financial [[enablers]] — and his parents provide a roof over his head, Chris has had no reason to [[Chris and work|get a job]]. Without the structure that a job, even a minimum-waged or volunteer position, would impart to him, Chris is instead free to wallow in his fantasies.

Chris's hobbies are mostly limited to [[Netflix]], [[video games]], [[YouTube]], and [[Twitter]]. Despite supposedly having a calling for art, he rarely draws like he used to. While video games can stimulate the brain, his hobbies leave little room for creativity or substantial self-improvement. Even a simple hobby like photography would be a big step up from Chris's current avocations.

Chris rarely leaves his [[room]], instead preferring to [[daydream]] for "three to six hours per day<ref>[[August 2019 social media posts#Barb ain't dead yet + Magi-Chan's likes]]</ref>". When he does socialize, it is mainly on his terms, role-playing with enablers who keep him invested in his fantasies or appearing at conventions with [[fans]] who treat him as a celebrity.

{{quote|As for what I do while awake, on the recent, I get up, take my meds, meditate while playing Tetris 99 to at least take on the daily tasks for the game. Most days, I go out on errand or simple walking [...] Anyway, during the time at home, I tend to binge a show, do some drawing or creative, work (namely the [[TSSSF]] cards and the comic pages).|Chris describing his day-to-day life.<ref>[[Discord]]</ref>}}

===Escapist fantasies===
[[File:Dimensional Merge math on McDonalds napkin.jpg|thumb|200|Chris will sit down and calculate the number of casualties in his [[Dimensional Merge]] fantasy but won't write up a budget plan for paying off his [[debt]].]]

Chris embraces his fantasies as escapism, overindulging in them to the point that his interest in them has largely eclipsed his real world life. When his childlike lifestyle conflicts with the responsibilities associated with being an adult, Chris retreats to his fantasy realm to cope.

This habit became especially prevalent in the years following the September 2011 death of his [[father]], after which Chris found himself thrust into the world of adult responsibilities as he had to do tasks such as pay his bills and help take care of his [[mother]] and pets. Chris was 29 years old when his father passed away; while most people would be accustomed to dealing with responsibilities by that age, Chris was unprepared for the burden since his parents had sheltered him up to that point for example, until he died, his father had managed Chris's bank account due to his fiscal irresponsibility<ref>[[Jackie E-mails 8]]</ref>.

{{quote|When my father was alive, I had more freedom; now that he has passed, I lost a lot of freedom and remain to take after the tasks he had left behind. [...] You can only escape in your mental depths and recluse for so long before you are pulled back to reality, and too many things leave you feeling like you get little peace at home.|Chris.<ref name=rare></ref>}}

Chris occasionally whined on social media about his position in having to help take care of his mother and pets — his statements gradually revealing more of his retreat into escapist fantasies.

In September 2012, he complained:

{{quotebox|Everybody else gets to go out for a fun and good time; I am stuck care-giving my mother and our [[dogs]], and it is Very Stressful on me.<ref>[[September 2012 Facebook posts#I Require Friends]]</ref>}}

In January 2013, Chris was hoping for a [[sweetheart]] to rescue him from his life:

{{quotebox|I need my Sweetheart-to-be to make me happy; my heart hurts literally from my depression and loneliness. Serving my mother is not a final purpose to me, and my social life is very slim. I feel like I lack direction in my life as well.<ref>[[January 2013 Facebook posts#Chris needs direction]]</ref>}}

By October 2017, Chris was immersed in his escapism; from his list of reasons for refusing to get a job, half involved his devotion to his fantasies:

{{quotebox|I Have a TON and S***-Load of Responsibilities and Worries here at home care-taking my mother, dogs, cats, and to my own passion of my [[Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon]] Family, my City of Cwcville, my own Only-Me Psychic Connection [[Imaginary friends|to my family and friends there]], in that dimension. So, I'll be darned if I Do Not already have enough on my plate<ref>[[Kiwi Farms#Posts]]</ref>}}

Chris's desire to be rescued from reality left him desperate for his fantasies to be validated, his mentality similar to people willing to join cults. On 25 October 2017, the first of the [[Idea Guys]] entered the picture.

===Cult of the Idea Guys===
{{main|Idea Guys|Enablers|List of beliefs brainwashed into Chris}}
{{quote|I feel need to also thank them for adding more connection between our sister dimension and I|Chris on the Idea Guys, retaining his cultist mentality several months after they had been ousted.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1017879233119469568</ref>}}

[[File:IdeaGuyCwc News Media.PNG|thumb|200px|Chris fell for this fake news graphic made by the original Idea Guy as part of his plot to convince Chris he was providing information from [[CWCville]]'s dimension.]]

On 25 [[October 2017]], Joshua Wise, the first of a duo that would later be dubbed the Idea Guys, contacted Chris. Initially as an experiment to gauge Chris's gullibility, Wise began a plot to manipulate Chris into believing that Wise had made it into [[CWCville]]'s dimension. Drawing from his experience in role-playing communities and borrowing lore from video game/anime series ''[[Hyperdimension Neptunia]]'', Wise crafted an elaborate narrative which included edited image graphics, doctored audio clips such as [[Red Forest]], and role-playing as Chris's [[imaginary friends]]. Chris, by this point in his life desperate for his fantasies to be validated, eagerly accepted Wise's claims.<ref name=IGQA>[[Idea Guy Q&A]]</ref>

The association between Wise and Chris morphed into cult leader and devout follower. Wise brainwashed Chris's beliefs on CWCville and his imaginary friends, such as by claiming CWCville to be [[Operation BARBarossa|occupied by Nazis]], that [[Rosechu]] is a transgender woman, and that Chris is [[Polyamorous marriage|married to imaginary friends]], with Chris accepting it as fact.

At some point, the second Idea Guy, Stephen Boyd, joined with Wise. Together, the two exploited their influence over Chris and had him make false statements for blackmail purposes and conned Chris into giving them thousands of dollars under threats they would destroy CWCville and release the blackmail material if he failed to comply.<ref name=extortionists></ref> Their activities caught the attention of people in Chris's inner circle, who formed a group later termed the [[Guard Dogs]] to counteract the Idea Guys and remove them from power. However, even after the ousting, and though the Guard Dogs tried to encourage him to seek therapy at [[Region Ten]], Chris still retained most of the beliefs the Idea Guys had brainwashed into him over the six months they were in power. Guard Dog Marvin explained Chris's perspective:

{{quoteboxgreen|"Reality" is a malleable concept to Chris.

To Chris, that these losers were pretending to be imaginary characters doesn't mean they they didn't unwittingly connect with their counterparts in the other dimension or whatever. So yeah, he thinks Wise and Boyd were assholes who stumbled upon some magic or some shit.

Chris is mostly mad about money first and being made to embarrass himself second.

In regards to why he still maintains a lot of their canon, it's because Chris is too invested in his imaginary world to give up on it so easily. I think after Wise and Boyd were outed, he felt really uncomfortable about retconning most of their changes. Because if he retcons the past six months, then fuck, why can't he retcon all of it? That would make him feel really uneasy about the possible reality of his imaginary world.

That reality is most important to him.<ref>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/random-chris-updates.23605/post-4002093</ref>}}

The post-Idea Guys era ignited a wave of [[enablers]] who sought to use the Idea Guys' tactics to worm their way into Chris's life. For a few months, the Guard Dogs attempted to protect Chris by screening his messages for him. However, given Chris's refusal to address his psychological weaknesses and willingness to find others to play make-believe with, the enablers eventually broke past their defenses, leading to the Guard Dogs washing their hands of Chris. The [[Teen Troon Squad]] in fall 2018, [[MKRNightVee]] in winter 2019, [[Jacob Sockness]] in summer 2019, and a myriad of [[other enablers]] took turns role-playing with Chris and enabling his fantasies in exchange for his attention. In addition, using lore brute-forced into his head by the Idea Guys, Chris declared himself to be a goddess — [[CPU Blue Heart]] — and began to preach about the [[Dimensional Merge]], further intensifying the cult vibes of his beliefs.

==Consequences==
Beyond making a fool of himself, Chris's poor grasp of reality has compelled him to self-harm and fall for con men exploiting his beliefs.

===Self-harm===
[[Wikipedia:Gender dysphoria|Late-onset gender dysphoria]] is a psychological disorder describing those who identify with another gender over their own, and can present with the desire to be rid of their primary sex characteristics and prefer those of the other gender. Like with everything else in life, Chris sought out [[mysticism]] to treat his gender dysphoria.

In March 2016, he discovered [[Subliminal Frequency Hypnosis]], a collection of music tracks on YouTube claiming to, among other things, magically grant larger breasts and transform a penis into a vagina. Chris's confirmation bias over his breasts increasing, crediting it to the mysticism instead of his [[Wikipedia:gynecomastia|gynecomastia]] and [[My Breast Massage Routine 18+|poor measuring of his chest]], led him to believe that the claims made by the channel were true.

He pursued the penis-vagina transformation, and began to prod his taint while under the impression there was a hidden vagina there.<ref>[[Reddit#Can males be born with a hidden vagina (minus the uterus)? (3 July 2016)]]</ref> Though the Subliminal channel claimed the transformation would take six months, Chris eventually lost patience. In July 2016, he grabbed a knife and made a [[self-inflicted taint wound]] to an effort to free his vagina. Chris's devotion to the delusion was so potent that he initially resisted efforts by concerned fans to pressure him into going to the hospital, though he eventually wore down and admitted it was a wound and obeyed treatment instructions.

===Con artists===
[[File:Discord3.jpg|thumb|200px|The fictional superweapon Kadingir, as depicted in anime series ''Symphogear''. The Idea Guys used this image to con Chris into believing they had the capability to destroy the moon and CWCville.<ref>[[The Bad Beginning]]</ref>]]

While Chris has long been taken advantage of by trolls, the tactics and goals from the likes of the [[Idea Guys]] and [[Jacob Sockness]] surpass the typical catfishing-for-content.

The Idea Guys gradually built up a strong psychological hold over Chris by affirming his fantasies and playing along with them, to the point where Chris had full faith over anything they told him. They then used their influence to con Chris out of $6,000 by threatening to blow up [[CWCville]] with a moon laser if he failed to comply, manipulate him into punching his mother, and had him make videos [[Chris slaps himself|slapping himself in the face]] and shitting on the floor.<ref name=extortionists>https://kiwifarms.net/threads/the-chris-chan-extortionists.45366/</ref> Things became even darker when the Idea Guys threatened to falsely report Chris as a [[Pedofork|pedophile]] to the FBI if he stopped supplying them with vast sums of money, consoles and games, thus deepening the [[Financhu Crisis]].

Jacob Sockness, following the example set by the Idea Guys, nearly succeeded in manipulating Chris into a sexual relationship, holding the [[Dimensional Merge]] over his head and [[Sockness impersonates Magi-Chan|faking a conversation with Chris's imaginary friend]] to convince him they should meet and consider marriage.

Though both the Idea Guys and Sockness were eventually ousted — by people countering their role-playing with their own — Chris has failed to learn and continues to leave the gates to his imaginary realm open to anyone who will validate his fantasies further.

[[File:Cwcpaddedcell credit Un Platano.jpg|right|thumb|The chances of this happening are staggering]]

By the time the internet first discovered him circa 2007, Chris already held beliefs that CWCville and his imaginary friends were real, and that he had the power to curse people. Since then, as a maladaptive coping mechanism for his real-world life crumbling around him, Chris gradually took on larger-scale fantasies, such as [[Dimensions|parallel dimensions]].

=== CWCville ===

{{main|CWCville}}

CWCville is Chris’s original vision of an imaginary and idyllic fantasy world, where everything is build around his comfort and convenience, and where he enjoys great power with scant responsibility. Chris believes that CWCville is real, and uses the city as a way to “escape” from a world that does not [[Chris and his Ego|give Chris what he wants]]. CWCville was originally an infill city within the state of [[Virginia]], but it became part of the larger [[C-197|C-197 dimension]] when Chris started toying with the [[Dimensional Merge]].

All of Chris's characters are aware that Chris is the creator of their reality. Sonichu and Rosechu both refer to him as "father", in much the same way [[Chris and religion|a Christian might consider God to be his or her Creator]] (it is unknown if the comic exists in the universe of CWCville). Chris believes his characters possess the free will to make their own decisions, and that he is not responsible for their actions. This is how various events, both major and minor, such as Sonichu and Rosechu's wedding, the birth of [[Sonichu and Rosechu's children|their children]],<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#Sonichu_and_Rosechu_from_1998_to_Today Sonichu Page on CWCipedia</ref> [[Kel]]'s romance with [[Reldnahc Notsew Naitsirhc|Naitsirhc]],<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu#First_Encounter_with_Naitsirhc</ref> and even [[Bubbles Rosechu|Bubbles]] and [[Blake]]'s wedding<ref>[[I_Am_The_TRUE,_Original_CCWC#A_history_.286:02_to_9:34.29 I Am The TRUE, ORIGINAL CCWC]]</ref> are said to actually happen "off-screen", instead of just being a [[Chris and writing|spur-of-the-moment throwaway plot elements]] that Chris is [[stress|too lazy to depict]]. Without prior explanation, Chris made a "spoiler" in his own comic that [[Magi-Chan]] will eventually get together with [[Silvana]], implying that, in Chris's head, this has already "happened".<ref>http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Issue_10/Page_37 Issue 10 Page 37</ref> It is [[Retroactive continuity in Sonichu|Slaweel Ryam]], not Chris, who apologizes for slandering [[Mary Lee Walsh]].<ref>[[Mary Lee Walsh#Possible reconciliation]]</ref> Chris once justified his refusal to write Simonla out of the comic by saying that she would not want to leave CWCville, and that she and [[Wild Sonichu|Wild]] would fight for her right to stay.<ref>[[Mailbag 43#...well, this is disturbing!]]</ref>

Chris considers everything drawn, written, or even said about CWCville to be canonical if he's the one stating it (regardless of contradictions) and feels it necessary to explain away undesirable changes to CWCville made as a result of outside influences (e.g. [[BILLY MAYS]], [[Julie Reveals Herself|as Mayor]]). The fact that he needs to explain this in his comic pages shows that he assumes everyone else shares this belief as well. Despite considering his own judgement infallible as applied to his own work, he forces [[Alec Benson Leary calls|others]] to accept the "corrections" he has made to theirs.

When the [[Asperpedia Four]] used systematic trolling to make Chris kill off the character [[Simonla Rosechu#Simonla as the Lynchpin|Simonla]], Chris viewed it as a deliberate attack on his fantasy world. CWCville, which had always been Chris's way of retreat from the real world, had been infiltrated by outside forces and was no longer impenetrable, so this is likely why Chris put the comic on hiatus; to stop outside forces from causing any more damage.

Chris's beliefs are such that he even claims to hold the distinction of Mayor of CWCville "IN REAL LIFE".<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> He only admits that CWCville is not real when he intends to pacify others he sees as too slow in the mind to comprehend this idea. He most likely defends this belief because he has accomplished and produced virtually nothing worthwhile in his life, and he likes to pretend that he has made a positive impact on something — if only on a metaphysical level. In his opinion, anyone who does not accept this worldview is "[[Chris and hypocrisy|naïve]]".

On 23 July 2017, Chris responded to his [[True and Loyal Fanbase]], who wondered why Chris wouldn't reboot his comics. As a response, Chris explained that if he were to reboot his comics, that would mean that history in the canon would have to start all over again, and all of the characters would have to start over from their original origins. Essentially, he thinks that if he pulls the plug on his Sonichu franchise and reboots it, that would mean that [[Chris and death|all of his characters would die, and they would somehow reincarnate into their newer upgraded versions]].

=== Dimensions ===
{{main|Dimensions|Dimensional Merge}}

{{quote|the moment I brought up the multiverse, he listened.|The original [[Idea Guy]] on how he got Chris's attention.<ref name=IGQA></ref>}}

Chris’s belief in alternative dimensions enables him to disconnect from the poor and mundane life he currently resides in and to shift responsibility over personality flaws to an alternative Chris.<ref>[[Live Reading of SNT Vs Sonichu, Part 2]]</ref> It gives him solace to believe that he, or other versions of himself, exist in other places where he is content, successful, and surrounded by characters and people who love him. The Idea Guys exploited Chris's nascent beliefs and desires on other dimensions and further shaped them as part of their cult-like grip over his beliefs.

The Dimensional Merge is Chris's ultimate escapist fantasy, enabling him to think he is powerful, wealthy, with real friends and a happy marriage, all just waiting for him on the other side of the "dimensional curtain". A concept originally created by the Idea Guys and later expanded on by Chris with the help of fantasy enablers, the Merge is his hope that the sister dimensions 1218 and C-197 will unify, with him overseeing the merge in his role as the goddess [[CPU Blue Heart]]. The dimension "1218" (sometimes referred to as "Earth 1218") is the dimension of reality. The dimension "C-197" is the designation for Chris's imaginary world which contains all of his favorite fictional characters and [[OC]]s. The Merge was originally scheduled to complete by the end of [[2018]] leaving behind a universe known as 1C-211987 with elements of both sister dimensions and enable Chris to realize his dream of hanging out with Sonichu and his pals.

===Imaginary friends===
{{main|Imaginary friends}}

{{quote|I don't have to Justify [[Sonichu (character)|Sonichu]] and [[Rosechu (character)|Rosechu]]; they can take of that themselves.|[[Chris]], being completely delusional in [[IRC (20 January 2009)]].}}

{{quote|And One Day, Very Soon, [[Polyamorous marriage|my family]] and I will be able to show ourselves to you all, then you will be taking back your own “scizzo” labels. Harrumph!|Chris, nine years later.<ref>https://tweetsave.com/cwcsonichu/status/999998606034784256</ref>}}

[[File:ChrisOverhearingNightstar.png|thumb|Chris overhears a conversation held by his imaginary friend [[Night Star]].]]

A mix of maladaptive coping and maladaptive daydreaming, Chris's belief in imaginary friends is a primary means of escapism for him. He believes that he can communicate with them via [[meditation]] sessions — in reality conflating his inner monologue with the imagined voices of his fictional friends.
[[Image:Chris_chan_and_reality_jpg.jpg|450px|thumb|right|Great party isn't it?]]

There are many instances of Chris trying to interact with his imaginary friends over the years, becoming more prevalent over time as his desire for escapism grows. Examples include [[Imaginary friends#Sonichu|his confrontation]] with [[Mary Lee Walsh]] in 2004, his [[Dancing with Magi-Chan|imaginary dance partner]] at the 2017 BronyCon gala, and social media messages near the end of the 2010s written either from a point of view of any of his [[OC]]s<ref>[[MagiChan111448 tweets#Heart attack|Twitter messages]] from @MagiChan111448, 26 June 2019.</ref> or in which he claims to be with any of them.<ref name=aug2019car>[[August 2019 social media posts#Chris caused a fender-bender and kicked a cop car; discovers he's blacklisted from Papa Johns|Twitter messages]] from @CPU_CWCSonichu, 5 August 2019.</ref>

In fall 2017, the Idea Guys role-played as Chris's own imaginary friends, giving Chris validation over his preexisting notions and further fueling his maladaptive behavior — such as by convincing Chris that his imaginary friends will be united with him in the [[Dimensional Merge]] and that he is married to several of them in a [[polyamorous marriage]].

===Magical thinking===
{{main|Magical thinking}}

{{quote|Quite frankly I believe you are wasting your time there are more productive things in life than levitating a pen put your energy into those.|Magician Uri Geller's advice for Chris, who had asked Uri for help training his psychic powers.<ref name=uri>[[Misc E-mails#Uri Geller Emails]]</ref>}}

{{quote|I am Not wasting my time!|Chris's reply.}}

Chris's habit of magical thinking is another maladaptive coping method, manifesting in delusions of grandeur. Instead of putting in effort to improve his own life, Chris prefers to believe that magic will do it for him. In addition, he believes that magic will allow him to neutralize his perceived enemies.

{{quote|I intend to do a LOT more good with my Psychic Powers to bring Peace and take down up to All of the Internet Haters and Bullies! I Need to do all these in my own control.|Chris<ref name=uri></ref>}}

Chris believes he has an array of magic powers. Most notable is the ability to [[curse-ye-ha-me-ha|curse]] his enemies (as well as to [[Curse-ye-ha-me-ha Retraction|undo it]]). Others include [[Sarah May Skype Logs|communicating with the dead]], [[U8C43P2A37A8 y U8C1N023V0L|brainwashing people]], and [[psychic powers]].

===Superstitions===
While most of Chris's superstitions are his own, he also takes part in popular superstitions as well. Autistic people in general tend to be predisposed to wishful and magical thinking, finding superstitions to be comforting.

Chris dislikes the number 13, because he thinks it is an unlucky number: triskaidekaphobia (the fear of 13) is already a common American superstition, with [[wikipedia:Microsoft Office|Microsoft Office]] notably skipping version 13 during the development of Office 2010.<ref>Flynn, David, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090206073052/http://apcmag.com/microsoft_to_skip_unlucky_office_13.htm/ ‘Microsoft to skip "unlucky" Office 13’], ''Australian Personal Computer (APC)'', 29 March 2007 (accessed 6 May 2019).</ref> However, Chris's fear of the number 13 had an unusual effect on the numbering of the ''Sonichu'' comics, where ''Sonichu #13'' was numbered as [[Sonichu 12-9|''Sonichu'' #12-9]] (showing his incompetency with either logic or [[math]])<ref>[[CLog 08142017 - More Positive Content|Captain’s Log, 14 August 2017 (''More Positive Content'')]].</ref> and where the Episode ''"One Lucky Dog"'' from [[Sonichu 6|''Sonichu'' #6]] was labelled "[[Sonichu 6#Episode 12.5: "One Lucky Dog"|Episode 12.5]]".<ref>[https://archive.sonichu.com/cwcville/SchuComic7P1.htm Sonichu 6, Page 1.]</ref> On [[Twitter]], when going into multi-tweet rants, Chris numbers the tweets. For Twitter messages which exceed 12 tweets, Chris either replaces the number 13 with a repeated 12 or with 12-9.<ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1023969772168511488</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/1006915844016869377</ref><ref>It should be noted that there are more sensible ways for avoiding the use of the number 13, even if it is necessary to maintain the consistency of numbering. They include:
* Renumbering 13 as 12A, 12½ or 12.5;
* Renumbering 13 as 12B, and renumber 12 as 12A.</ref>

Chris has also shown belief in astrology. He included his and [[Sarah Nicole Hammer|Sarah Hammer]]'s zodiac signs in the [[Chris + Sarah's Life-Shares|Life-Shares]]. In his [[OkCupid]] profile, he wrote that his sign is "Pisces, and it's fun to think about". He wrote to [[Jessica Quinn]], "I am emotion-prone, and I tend to do as I feel and life flows, like the Pisces I was born under."<ref>[[November 2016 Facebook posts]]</ref> One of the quotes on his first Facebook was "I was born under the Sign of PISCES, the sign of the PROVIDER. I am fully capable of providing the necessities, and then some, for the Lucky Woman who loves me for me, and becomes my True Sweetheart". His belief in star signs may explain why he holds such a high significance to his [[birthday]].

Chris places significance on his [[Amnyfest Ring|birthstone]], which he calls "[[Speech impediment|amnyfest]]". He believes the class ring with the stone is what gives him power, and even pointed it out to [[Emily]] on their date. More recently, he has attached an amethyst quartz crystal to his [[medallion]].

==In the real world==
===Science and technology===
{{main|Chris and science}}
{{quote|I do not even know of the symptoms, because, again, if I literally overthought about it, I would be at greater risk of infecting myself from reading and repeating the list in my mind. It’s Neurotypical and idiotic for anyone to do that and overthink it.|Chris rationalizes staying ignorant of the viral disease [[COVID-19‎‎]].<ref name=viral>[[March 2020 social media posts#Chris finally weighs in on the coronavirus pandemic]]</ref>}}

Chris seems completely unaware of what current technology is and is not capable of. In his [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Sonichu Sonichu article] on the [[CWCipedia]], he suggests that Nintendo pour their resources into developing a Poké Ball peripheral that would have slots for every generation of Pokémon games, including a slot for the GameCube memory card. He expects users of this peripheral to be able to read party data from the inserted game/memory card, display a holographic image of the Pokémon in play, and challenge people in real life who own the same peripheral (in a manner much like on ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''). In addition, Chris has no idea how everyday machines such as [[Son-Chu|cars]] work, evidenced in how [[September 2014|he claimed]] that a 1997 Cadillac with a cracked engine block was a great "fixer upper." Normally, any serious physical damage to a car's engine can only be repaired by a very skilled mechanic, or cannot be repaired at all and one must buy a new engine (both of which are not cheap, but [[Chris and money|that's an entirely different problem]]).

Chris has also been shown to lack knowledge in basic pathology. When he contracted a cold in December 2019, he had misattributed it to the large-scale [[Chris and anger|triggering]] he got from a number of people on his Twitter.

===Social rules===
{{main|Dating education}}
Chris also obsesses over popular "rules" about relationships. He's held onto the idea that sex should be given on the [[third date]], as well as other [[How to Talk to Girls|overly generic]] dating advice.

===Conspiracy theories===
{{main|Conspiracy theories}}

{{quote|I bet, even Greene County had something to do with influencing that goddamn Michael Snyder [...] to make him pretend to have a reason to kick me out|Chris blaming his school board for a decision made by a game store manager.<ref>[[Greene County Conspiracy]]</ref>}}

Chris and his parents have come up with several conspiracy theories to explain away his life problems. Notable examples are of Chris [[Greene County Conspiracy|blaming his elementary school]] for keeping him in his autistic shell, his parents' notion that [[Michael Snyder]] and [[Megan Schroeder]] were masterminds behind the [[trolls]], and Chris's belief that Snyder caused his own injuries when Chris and his mother [[28 October 2011|hit him with their car]].

===Estimation===
{{Main|Mathematics}}
{{Quote|A [[Son-Chu|CAR]] WEIGHS A LOT MORE THAN 10 TONS|Chris, being unaware that most cars weigh two or three tons.<ref>[[Mailbag 9]]</ref>}}
Chris has a tendency to hugely exaggerate estimates of [[Duck|length]], [[White knight E-mails|weight]], and [[I AM STRONG|strength]] in his favor, as evidenced in his description of a [[11042009 51 50|12-pack of canned lemonade as being fifty pounds (22.7 kg)]]. This behavior is symptomatic of [[Wikipedia:Dyscalculia|dyscalculia]], a common symptom of autism, which leaves the sufferer with poor comprehension of time, measurement, or spatial reasoning. However, Chris does not really display any other symptoms of it, suggesting this behavior isn't mere ignorance, but rather Chris telling childish lies to try to impress people with his physical strength.

===Lack of theory of mind===
Chris has no idea on how the billions of people on the planet think. He thinks that all men would happily wear [[Brassieres For Males|bras]] and skirts (It must be noted that Chris thought these ideas so that he and he alone would feel more comfortable [[Tomgirl Saga|crossdressing]]), and that every Sonic fan on the planet would support him in his [[Sonic Boom Protests]]. When somebody informs him that they have a differing opinion to him, he throws a tantrum and denounces that person as a [[troll]].

===Narcissistic tendencies===
{{main|Examples of Chris's Ego}}
Chris automatically assumes his lies will be believed, even if they contradict existing information. This is copiously evidenced in his constant [[List of Chris's lies|lies]] during the [[Father Call]], wherein Chris fibs incessantly about his [[Chris and health|health]] (among other things), frequently denying things or changing his story whenever he gets caught out. His habit of lying and lying about his lies is likely inherited from his mother, whom [[Cole Smithey E-mails|his brother described]] as a pathological liar. When asked by [[Evan]] to remove [[Simonla]] from his comics, Chris decided that he could have created her without the inspiration of Evan's character [[Simonchu]] and, thus, effectively had.<ref>[[Mailbag 44#I want to see Simonla die so very badly]]</ref> The fact that he [[Things Chris has ripped off|demonstrably could not have done this]] did not factor into his reasoning. Chris "[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 3|corrected]]" Simonla's [http://archive.sonichu.com/cwcipedia/index.php?title=Simonla_Rosechu CWCipedia entry] with a "[[Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 4|retraction]]" denying that Simonla had ever been inspired by Simonchu. Chris expected that this revised version of the truth would be happily accepted by all concerned parties.

Chris considers people with [[Asperger's syndrome]] to be "fakers" who are taking "the Shine and Limelight" away from genuine autistic people such as himself.<ref>[[Aspergers (CWCipedia article)]]</ref> Although Chris has admitted that this "fact" is only his "own idea," he still believes that to think otherwise is to [[Chris and religion|"conform to blasphem[y]."]]<ref>[[Autism Awareness E-mails]]</ref> As with many other things which antagonize him, Chris simply assumes Aspergers to be significant of a conspiracy targeting himself.

Unsurprisingly, Chris can come across as highly delusional when he expects to be taken seriously. For example, on 28 April 2012, he made an empty threat to the [[Kiwi Farms]] about hunting down each of its members; he claimed to know where each of them lives in an attempt to intimidate the trolls. Even if one were to gloss over the fact that he wouldn't even [[Shigeru Miyamoto|cough up $800 to travel to Redmond to see his dreams come true]] (and it should be noted that there are trolls all over America, and indeed the world), there's a high chance that there will only be one [[Kick the Autistic|outcome]] of Chris actively pursuing his trolls with the purpose of doing them harm. All things considered, Chris ended up making himself even more of a laughing stock in the process.
