CWCville (pronounced: Quick-ville, IPA: [kwɪk vɪɫ]) is Chris-chan'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 becomes true.

CWCville, USA
Considering how it's portrayed, its full name could be the Our Glorious Leader's True and Honest Lovers' City of CWCville, in a way similar to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
CWCville is actually two things: a fictional setting for the Sonichu comic, and Chris's long-ongoing pet project — many might call it a "happy place" and an imaginary refuge from the harshness of reality. The two things overlap very much. It's sort of like his own personal Silent Hill - except that instead of being a twisted Hell full of violent rage and nightmare beasts, it's a disturbingly cheerful place where Chris's bouncy creations laugh, frolic, and fuck for his amusement exactly like Silent Hill. Characters are introduced without warning and fall by the wayside just as quickly; nobody's quite sure what becomes of them, but knowing Chris it probably involves anguished shrieks emanating from a love dungeon below the Mayor's house. Many are sent to the Moon.
In the Sonichu comic book world, the town is allegedly located in the state of Virginia, but being a figment of Chris Chan's imagination, it will never be found on an actual map. Yet, in many ways, it seems the city is legislatively and economically cut off from the rest of Virginia and the United States. In this city, Chris Chan is a despotic mayor, where he controls everything at his own will and dictates new laws, granting him the basis of his megalomaniac tendencies.
Inside the comic, CWCville is at a fierce rivalry with neighboring school PVCC. It is under constant attack from the evil forces of Dean Mary Lee Walsh and her army of Jerkops.
It also seems that CWCville also exists either in some sort of time void, or an alternate universe where events differ. In Sonichu 10, it's mentioned that everyone was going to talk to President Barack Obama over the Asperpedia. However, the story takes place in or around September 2008. Obama wouldn't even be elected for another two months and wouldn't take office until two months later. Even more, the Asperpedia wouldn't be put up for another year.
CWCville history
According to Sonichu 8, CWCville was founded in 1982 by Chris's father, Bob Chandler. Why he would name a city after his deadshit son is unknown.
BILLY MAYS coup
On 03 March 2009, Chris announced that BILLY MAYS is the new mayor of CWCville and that he was going to CWCville Jail to get raped by niggos.
On 04 March 2009, Chris revoked his statement that made MAYS the new mayor, establishing a government-in-exile in his bedroom. Most legal scholars, however, argue that since Chris was not wearing the Medallion of Fail, which Chris has indicated is necessary for a video to be TRUE and HONEST (and any retraction otherwise would involve him wearing the medallion to make his retraction legally binding), his statements to the contrary are false and therefore not legally binding, meaning BILLY MAYS is still the mayor of CWCville.
On 28 June 2009 BILLY MAYS 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, and quickly undid all of MAYS' initiatives, before announcing during a post-coup interview that he was always the ruler, and that there would be no further elections.
CWCville IRL
The IRL timeline concerning the creation of CWCville is uncertain, however we do know that is has existed since Chris's high school years, before Sonichu was originally thought of in March of 2000. Evidence photography of CWCville being replicated from Chris's mind to reality with Lego blocks have proven that CWCville was in fact one of his first creations, even disputing in antiquity with the creation of Bionic the Hedgehog, Christian's first Sonic recolor.
It has been argued that Chris's power stems from the fact that he can retreat to his own CWCville world, where he can right all wrongs done to him. In his comics, we see him defeating Mary Lee Walsh, with whom he holds an IRL grudge, beating around the jerkops, and bringing his dead dog, Patti Chandler, back to life in the form of another inhabitant. The main reason Chris can do such superhuman acts as defeating a whole army of huge Jerkops and resurrecting his dead dog is that in CWCville his will reigns supreme. This serves as a blanket that protects his physically and mentally weak self from the outside world in which he holds no such power.
Spelling
One of Chris's homemade Pokémon cards featured a "Cwick City Gym," while an unfinished Game Boy Camera project dating from 2001 used the spellings "Cwicville" and "Cwickville". It is unknown why he changed the spelling. Likely the alternate spelling just didn't stimulate his his massive ego as much as his unaltered initials, even if it makes a lot less sense.
Without knowing the "correct" pronunciation of the name, the fact remains that "CWCville" has three consonants in row in the business end of the name. Using conventional phonology, the name is pretty difficult to utter, unless you're in Eastern Europe or perhaps Wales. In Mailbag 43, Chris slams Evan and fails once again, spectacularly, to realize the seeds of truth buried in parodies: "She is Very Happy in Cwcville, VA, rather than the c***-shack known as 'Ecgville'. (HOW IS THAT SO-CALLED CITY PRONOUNCED ANYWAY? It sounds like a very "Eckie" Ailment, possibly Cold-Like.)"
Government
| “ | Is CWCville under MARTIAL LAW?!?! | ” |
| Jack Thaddeus | ||
CWCville is like many contemporary third world countries.
There's a non-elected leader who does what he pleases, "advised" by an elected Town Council. Exactly how CWCville's government operates is quite nebulous and mystified. Chandler is mayor-for-life with supreme power, and has insisted that there are no elections, but he has also insisted that the vote has "even" been extended to those of African descent. Voting is strictly for the Town Council, which holds no authority, existing as a purely advisory comittee 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 inherited the town from his father. 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 common in many modern monarchies). 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 — in fact, all symbols of the old regime — have been erased.
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. It is uncertain whether the continuation of the CWC initials for the town are intended by him to be hereditary, as Crystal, being a woman, would have a 1/26 chance of reproducing with a man with a C for his final initial.
Business owners and managers who try to stand up for themselves are ruthlessly crushed. The police don't take orders from the civil authorities and lock people up at random, the dean of the only college is leading a hopeless resistance and is vilified in the mayoral-controlled press. Soliciting sex is legal in CWCville, whereas possessing tobacky 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; in a predictable display of bureaucratic cluelessness, this important task has been somehow handed to 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 disputing the authority has been futile in general), it also effectively elevates the official above law. The Mayor has also hinted — though sensibly, he has not written it into actual law, otherwise all international observers would condemn his actions at once — that the Electric Hedgehog Pokémon, a group of civilian defense contractors, have 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.
The radio station and soft drink company are also named after the mayor, which indicates either nationalization of normally private businesses or rampant cronyism. CWCville mints its own money, which comes in confusing denominations—for instance, there are two kinds of quarter, the C and W, which are mutually exclusive to the point where vending machines will take only one or the other, and the exchange rate between the two is inexact.
CWCville has a large police force equipped with weapons and TANKS, and even an entire division of the United States 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. For a normal townsperson, hardly a day passes without a tank rolling past their home, military helicopters buzzing over the shopping centers, or seeing a group of heavily armed mercenaries bullying a hapless youngster on the other side of the street for simply looking a little bit "trollish", whatever that means. Any attempts at humor are prosecuted swiftly and severely under the draconian laws that are based on curious misinterpretations of international copyright laws.
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 dissident leaders remain at large until recently.
The court system is a joke. Slaweel Ryam was captured, depowered and sent to a maximum security prison without a trial. The jerkops and manajerks are depowered, yet are allowed to go scott-free. However, when Simonla Rosechu is murdered by a Voltorb, four people - Evan, Alec Benson Leary, Sean and Mao are arrested and put on trial not even a week after. The judge is biased in Chris's favour, when all judges must 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), a mild offense, 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.
The basic services are lacking: Blake wasn't sent to a hospital ER after being attacked by Silvana, but was sent to a wholly inadequate Pokémon Center instead. Packs of wild Pokémon roam the streets, uncontrolled. The rare buildings of CWCville are sad, lopsided affairs, betraying a lack of architectural and engineering skills brought on by a national brain drain, as the educated classes seek asylum in the US, Canada, or Europe (the map shows many buildings, but they tend not to appear in pictures — we can assume they were simply never built.
As the poor citizens of CWCville suffer in the squalor of refugee camps, the mayor wastes precious UN aid money on oversize novelty drinking straws and credit cards for dogs. As of Christmas 2009, there were 10 homeless shelters set up: Chris himself claims that these ten story "Soup Hotels" house an indigent population of 900-1800 individuals, and come equipped with free cable TV. They are almost certainly havens for junkies, crack dealers and whores openly plying their trade in the hallways and elevators, while the mayor's personal friends, such as Sonichu, live in state-sponsored, suburban housing.
Conditions in CWCville are worsening daily. As mayoral forces clash with rebel police in the streets of the capital, aid organizations have been forced to withdraw. While his people starve, mayor Chandler has funneled government money into illegal arms trades, probably with rogue nations, with the stated goal of building a rocket to "send all the tobacky to the moon". The lavish living conditions and the salary of his squad of Pokémon goons are fully supported by the city's budget.
Flora and fauna
CWCville, like the rest of Virginia, has a temperate climate and is suitable for large-scale agriculture. Years of economic decline, however, have seen CWCville's environs diverge greatly from those of its neighboring cities. Its forests growing thicker, and its fields returning to nature, CWCville is an excellent laboratory for the avid naturalist. Pokémon roam in the forests; Zapbuds fill the fields.
Zapbud
Zapbuds are a horrible new invasive species imported from the hell-hole of Chris's mind and have quickly established itself in the surrounding ecosystems, killing off native species such as pickles with its weedy tendencies. While some claim zapbuds have narcotic properties similar to opium poppies, little attempt has been made to market or cultivate them outside of CWCville due to intervention from environmental groups from letting this horrific weed from spreading. Aside of "healing woes", relatively little is known of them, aside of having four petals, possibly resembling buds of some sort in their normal state, and the "zap" and electrical hazard symbol suggesting that it might not be the brightest idea to pee in the middle of a zapbud field. Zapbuds reproduce asexually as they have no pistils or stamens for sexual flower reproduction, therefor every zapbud is identical to the parent plant. In the comics, Sonichu is fond of calling Rosechu his "zapbud," or even "blossoming zapbud" if he's in the mood.
Chris has, as frequently demonstrated, failed to develop his characters through his stories. The fact that he fails to demonstrate some character for plants is just plain tragic. For crying out loud, just how hard can it be to make readers give a damn about a fictitious weed that looks like something from a children's televison show?
Anomalies
It is curious to note that while Chris reigns supreme over his imaginary town, it is still subject to the will of other people (as evidenced by BILLY MAYS' election). This gives a small insight into the workings of Chris's mind, as it implies a belief in the 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.
