'''CWCville''' (pronounced: [kwɪkvɪɫ], "quick-ville") is [[Chris]]'s imaginary world, created from a combination of his twisted views on the world and pop-culture to work as a place where all his wishes, ideas, and deranged fantasies become true.
'''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.

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> 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.

CWCville is the setting of ''[[Sonichu (comic)|Sonichu]]'', a city in Virginia of which Chris is Mayor for life. CWCville is where Chris portrays friends and enemies from his real life in scenarios altered to reflect 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 his comic, Chris believes CWCville to actually exist in a parallel universe.<ref>[[Chris and reality#Fantasy and fiction]]</ref> Chris has claimed to be mayor of CWCville "IN REAL LIFE."<ref>[[ChrisChanSonichu and WikiSysop correspondence#THAT DOES NOT MATTER (CCS)]]</ref> As an entity Chris believes to be real, CWCville is a coping mechanism used to compensate for his unsatisfying actual life. Considering how it's portrayed, its full name could be the ''Our Glorious Leader's True and Honest Lovers' City of CWCville'', in a manner similar to [http://www.korea-dpr.com/ The Democratic People's Republic of Korea].
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.


It has been argued that the unconquerable quality of Chris's [[ego]] stems from the fact that he can retreat to his own CWCville world, where he can right all wrongs done to him. In his comics, we see him defeating [[Mary Lee Walsh]], with whom he holds an IRL grudge, beating around the jerkops, and bringing his dead dog, [[Patti Chandler]], back to life in the form of another inhabitant. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts as defeating a whole army of huge [[Jerkops]] and resurrecting his dead dog is that in CWCville his will reigns supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world in which he holds no such power.
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.


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 stated that this was not true.<ref>[[Mumble 11]]</ref><ref>[[CWC Update 1 July 2009]]</ref><ref name=p32/> In his willingness to educate, and his confusion at negative reactions to his answers, Chris seems to think that anyone who understands what CWCville is like will love it.  
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.


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. 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]]</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.
; Variations from the canon


Chris has repeatedly associated CWCville with Charlottesville, VA, likely the largest and most familiar urban environment in his life. Chris has presented footage of Charlottesville as footage of CWCville.<ref>[[Rollin' and Trollin']]</ref> He has 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, for example, was less important than Charlottesville.<ref>[[Do Not Dis C Ville]]</ref> CWCville is said to have an annual Dogwood Festival,<ref name=p32>[http://cogsdev.110mb.com/cwcipedia/index.php/Issue_9/Page_32 Issue 9/Page 32]</ref> also an annual Charlottesville tradition. This association further illustrates Chris's narrow perception of the outside world.
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>


==Name==
===Architecture and City Structure===


One of Chris's [[The Wall of Originals|homemade Pokémon cards]] 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'''". 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.)
[[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.


Without knowing the "correct" pronunciation of the name, the fact remains that "CWCville", unlike any proper English word, begins with four consonants in a row. Using conventional phonology, the name is pretty difficult to utter, unless you're Welsh in which case it would be pronounced "cookville". In [[Mailbag 43#...well, this is disturbing!|Mailbag 43]], Chris slams [[Evan]] and fails once again, spectacularly, to realize the seeds of truth buried in parodies.
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.

=== 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.

[[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, blank cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exclusively 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 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 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<br/>*The {{w|Jean-Claude Duvalier|Duvalier}} {{w|François Duvalier|dynasty}} in Haiti<br/>*The {{w|Laurent-Désiré Kabila|Kabila}} {{w|Joseph Kabila|dynasty}} in the Democratic Republic of Congo<br/>*The {{w|Kim dynasty (North Korea)|Kim dynasty}} in North Korea<br/>The {{w|Pahlavi dynasty}} in Iran<br/></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]].

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.


[[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]].]]
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>

[[File:GrandWizards4Sonichu.jpg|thumb|Chris and his men weilding the CWCville ceremonial flag while on parade in Town Square.]]


According to [[Sonichu 8]], CWCville was founded in [[1982]] by Chris's father, [[Bob Chandler]]. Why he would name a city after his deadshit son is unknown. And only [[GodJesus]] knows why it wasn't called RFCville.
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>


According to the [[Samantha Thaddeus]] e-mails, the government is a "King/Queen thing" with no elections. There's a non-elected leader who does what he pleases, "advised" by an elected House of Representatives which sits at the Cwcville Trade Center Building. Exactly how CWCville's government operates is unknown. Chandler is mayor-for-life with supreme power, and has insisted that there are no elections, but he has also insisted that the vote has "even" been extended to [[Niggos|those of African descent]], but [[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. Voting is strictly for the Town Council (or "Board of Director Members"<ref>[[Mailbag 37]]</ref>), which holds no authority, existing as a purely advisory committee which the mayor is not obligated to listen to. The mayor attempts to dissuade accusations of dictatorship, citing that dictatorships are never hereditary, whereas he [[Mailbag 34#The government totally sucks|inherited the town from his father]] (even though many dictatorships ''are'' hereditary, e.g. Kim Jong-il succeeded his father Kim Il-sung, and "Baby Doc" succeeded "Papa Doc" in Haiti). However, he refuses to acknowledge that this obviously makes his town a ''monarchy'', by explaining that all other government positions are voted on (even though such a practice is found in many modern monarchies, even absolute ones). It's also revealed that the name of the town was changed when it was passed from father to son, though whether or not the town was originally known as "RFCville", or something marginally less retarded is unknown, as all records of Mayor Bob's mayorship &mdash; in fact, all symbols of the old regime &mdash; have been erased (like the Roman practice of ''[[Wikipedia:damnatio memoriae|damnatio memoriae]]'', where all records of a traitor: statues, etc., are erased after his death). It is theorized that one day Christian will hand over the reins of governance to his daughter, [[Crystal]] Weston Chandler, in which case the town's name will not go through another change.
===Recent Developments===


On 3 [[March 2009]], Chris announced that BILLY MAYS is the new mayor of CWCville and that he was going to CWCville Jail to get raped by [[niggos]]. The next day, 4 March 2009, Chris revoked his statement that made MAYS the new mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in his bedroom. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the [[Medallion of Fail]], which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST (and any retraction otherwise would involve him wearing the medallion to make his retraction legally binding), his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS is still the mayor of CWCville. On 28 [[June 2009]], BILLY MAYS snorted too much cocaine and died in his mayoral mansion, plunging the entire town into mourning. Chris wasted no time in seizing control of CWCville, announcing during a [[Chris_chan_Discusses|post-coup interview]] that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doublethink he was always the ruler], and that there would be no further elections.
[[File:Mayor signer.png|thumb|200px|Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.]]


The police 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 [[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 rescinded.  
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.


Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and [[Mailbag 31|psychic surveillance is used to monitor sexual purity]]; in a predictable display of bureaucratic cluelessness, this important task has been somehow handed to [[Magi-Chan|an obvious closet case]]. 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 have any oversight over a super-powered official or question or contest his findings (and [[Mailbag|disputing the authority has been futile in general]]), it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted &mdash; though sensibly, he has not written it into actual ''law'', otherwise all international observers would condemn his actions at once &mdash; that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have [[Chris and the Law#In the Comics|immunity from prosecution]]. 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.
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]].


CWCville has a [[Jack Thaddeus Phone Call 3|large police force equipped with weapons and TANKS, and even an entire division of the U.S. Army]]; all these units, as said before, are above law. These groups appear frequently all around the city enforcing the laws, giving grim reminders of their existence to the common public every day, dragging the morale down. Any attempts at humor are prosecuted swiftly and severely under the draconian laws that are based on [[Chris and copyright|curious misinterpretations]] of international copyright laws. Dissident comedians who flee the city are hunted down and gruesomely executed (with the emphasis on "cute") by [[Sandy Rosechu|underage assassins]]. 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]] remain at large [[Sonichu 10|until recently]].
*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.


The court system is a joke. Walsh was captured, depowered and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The [[jerkops]] and [[manajerks]] are depowered, yet were supposedly allowed to go scot-free. However, when [[Simonla Rosechu]] is murdered by a Voltorb, four people - [[Evan]], [[Alec Benson Leary]], [[Fan:Moon-Pals|Sean]] and Mao are arrested and put on 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 ''[[Chris|cruel and inhumane ways]]''.
*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 basic services are lacking: Packs of wild Pokémon roam the streets, uncontrolled. The mayor wastes precious [[Monthly tugboat|taxpayer money]] on [[Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail|oversize novelty drinking straws]] and [[Patti-chan|credit cards for dogs]]. As of [[A Sonichu and Rosechu Christmas|Christmas 2009]], there were 10 homeless shelters set up: [[Mailbag 20|Chris himself]] claims that these ten-story "soup hotels" house an indigent population of 900-1,800 individuals, and come equipped with free cable TV. The mayor's personal friends, such as Sonichu, live in state-sponsored, suburban housing.  
*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.


'''tl;dr''' CWCville is a banana republic that makes most African countries look like the world's best places to live.
*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==
==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. Tobacco, unhealthy as it may be, is illegal to sell, possess or consume, despite the multibillion dollar value of the industry. With the banning of anything tobacco related, CWCville loses hundreds of millions of dollars a year in tax revenues, jobs and investment.


CWCville also mints its own currency, which comes in confusing denominations - there are two coins: the C-Quarter and W-Quarter, 10 C-Quarters equalling one W-Quarter, indicating that [[Honor roll|Chris has no idea what "quarter" means]]. Doubtless CWCville's disastrous budgeting decisions have led the establishment of a flourishing black market, perhaps using [[tobacky]] or [[pickles]] as currency.
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}} 4×10<sup>29</sup>.
 
== 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>

CWCville, like the rest of Virginia, has a temperate climate and is suitable for large-scale agriculture. Years of economic decline, however, have seen CWCville's environs diverge greatly from those of its neighboring cities. Its forests growing thicker, and its fields returning to nature, CWCville is an excellent laboratory for the avid naturalist. Pokémon roam in the forests; zapbuds fill the fields.

Zapbuds have quickly established themselves in the surrounding ecosystems. Aside "healing woes", relatively little is known of them. They have four petals, possibly resembling buds of some sort in their normal state, and the "zap" and electrical hazard symbol suggest that it might not be the brightest idea to pee in the middle of a zapbud field.

==Anomalies==
It is curious to note that while Chris reigns supreme over his imaginary town, it is still subject to the will of other people (as evidenced by BILLY MAYS' election). This gives a small insight into the workings of Chris's mind, as it implies a belief in the non-physical reality of the realm in his own mind. Any sane person could agree to "proclaim" BILLY MAYS the mayor of their fictional city with an offhand shrug, since it doesn't actually ''mean'' anything. They certainly wouldn't take it seriously enough to feel the need to clarify that they didn't mean it. The long and short of this is that Chris's creations are, to him, subject to certain metaphysical laws and structures which IRL he is unable or unwilling to comprehend. This suggests that if efforts were made to convince Chris that, for example, Sonichu had terminal cancer, Chris would either vehemently insist this is not the case, or accept it and claim that he has, in the comic, discovered a cure for cancer.

I'm still the mayor of CWCville. There is no elections.
Chris-chan Discusses..., 2009
[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[1]

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 personality cult around the leader, no independent judiciary nor any separation of powers, mass surveillance of the populace as well as largely autonomous paramilitary organizations. The 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 introduced and retracted again. The country has engaged in 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 boosting his ego as you'd expect. While the setting was initially believed exist to justify his self-insert's presence in Sonichu, it was later learned that Chris's concept of a utopia had origins with a Lego city created in 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 actually exists, and for many years used the city as a way to “escape” from anything he does not like.[2] Recently, Chris has used other means 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 as CWCville.

A slightly more detailed (but no less disproportionate) drawing of CWCville.
Flag of CWCville.

CWCville is the setting of 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 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 his comic, Chris believed for many years that CWCville actually exists, claiming at one point to be Mayor of CWCville “IN REAL LIFE”.[4][2] 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 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."[5] After being coerced into declaring BILLY MAYS the new Mayor of CWCville,[6] Chris repeatedly attempted to redact the statement claiming "I am still the mayor of CWCville, there is [sic] no elections."[7] [8][9][10] 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."[11]

The first official CWCville media was made in 2001.[12] After toying with more phonetic spellings, Chris settled on "CWCville"[13] 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 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 grade school age child.

In late-2017 Chris ceased being merely the mayor of a town and instead became goddess of an 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 homemade Pokémon cards from 2000 featured a "Cwick City Gym", while 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 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, Chris’s father, Bob Chandler, founded CWCville in 1982.[14] 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 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 real life examples: since Chris believes that CWCville is real, and that nearly all of the events in the comic mirror real life (albeit with a 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

CWCville's zip code, prior to the Idea Guy Saga.

CWCville began life as an infill city somewhere within the state of Virginia,[15] but it became part of the larger C-197 dimension when Chris started promoting the Dimensional Merge. According to Sonichu #6, one of the shortcut portals to CWCville was a dance mat behind the door to Chris's room.[16] Today, Chris uses so-called “meditation sessions” to get there.

In 2020, Chris narrowed the “location” of the CWCville to somewhere “north to north-east” of Fredericksburg, Virginia:[17] he later placed CWCville Beach by the shore of the Potomac River, east of Fredericksburg,[18] claiming that the city is as large as Baltimore or New York City.[19] The exact locations of key CWCville places as they relate to the real world, such as the CWCville Mall, remain unclear.

CWCville's ZIP Code was originally 02024-1982, an unused code available for Brockton, Massachusetts:[20] 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 dictatorial mayoral decree:[21] On 7 October the ZIP code was 16429, an unused code available for the vicinity of Erie, Pennsylvania, but a real Mexican postal code for Tejomulco, a neighborhood in Mexico City.[22] 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 Birkenau in Germany, which shares its name with the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

Variations from the canon

There was an exception in 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 Kantō region in Japan. The map also placed CWCville near Station Square, from Sonic the Hedgehog's world.[23]

Architecture and City Structure

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 brutalist's sticky dream.

The City appears to be 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 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

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 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.

This is what a typical city looks like after being nuked.

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 paramilitary organizations who enjoy, behind closed doors, blank cheque authority from the Mayor and answer exclusively to him - similar to the real life 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.[24] 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,[25] 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, the dean of the only college leading a hopeless insurgency and for that was vilified in the mayoral-controlled press.

The Mayor attempts to refute accusations of dictatorship, (incorrectly[26]) claiming that dictatorships are never hereditary, while he inherited the town from his father.

The Mayor addresses his people (DP 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 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 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 People's Courts. During the 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'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

Soliciting sex is legal in CWCville, while possession of tobacco is a very serious offense. Alcohol was illegal until 2009, when the ban was rescinded. Laws have been enacted to persecute homosexuals, and 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 immunity from prosecution.[27] 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 dissident leaders remained at large until recently.

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

Elections

Chris originally planned to hand over the role of Mayor to his sister Crystal in Sonichu #10,[28] 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 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 post-coup interview that 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.

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.[29] He created a poll on Twitter for people to vote for the new mayor. The candidates were:

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.[30]

Two days later he posted on Twitter that an election for new Chief of CWCville Police Department would take place. His candidates were[31]:

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

In April 2021, Chris stated the current mayor to be Mary Lee Walsh.[32] 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."[33]

The right to vote has "even" been extended to those of African descent (though apparently not to women, as some women are seen protesting in order to gain suffrage in CWCville).[34]

Recent Developments

Charlottesville's Mayor Signer, also opposed to Pmurt.

In February 2017, prompted by President Pmurt, Chris declared CWCville to be a sanctuary city,[35] 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, showing that during the hiatus of Sonichu 11, he had simply continued his fantasy/coping mechanism in his 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 creator instead, since holding the imaginary responsibilities of a small-town mayor is 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 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 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 radio station and 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. 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 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.[36] 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[37]). As that number has further increased to at least 17 by the time of Sonichu #10, which takes place only a month later, this problem has gotten even worse. The Mayor's personal friends, such as Sonichu, live in state-sponsored, suburban housing. He also supplied furniture for Wild Sonichu.[38]

CWCville also pays for the TrollBusters' private jet,[39] 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 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 delusional, power-hungry dictator's multiple vanity projects.

Chris claims that the city has "a lot of jews and immigrants, like new york," and is on the stock exchange.[39]

Currency

CWCville currency

CWCville also mints its own currency, the CWCville quarter. It first came to prominence in 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 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 currency reserves gather funds for a tottering dictatorship.

According to Chris on 19 November 2019,[40] and assuming that SIX Interbank Clearing chooses the W-Quarter as the main currency unit, the official exchange rate is CWQ 1 = USD 2.50,[41] which puts the CWCville quarter only behind the currencies of Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman in terms of purchasing power.[42] In reality, the irrational command economy and the ongoing debt crisis in real-life means that the parallel (black market) rates may command a huge discount… something like USD 1 = CWQ 4×1029.

The Invasion of CWCville

Main article: Sonichu 13
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

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,[43] while CWCville hosts the Dogwood Festival, which is an Charlottesville tradition.[10] 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, Columbus or Cleveland, for example, were so much less important than it.[44]
