Chur is a lordship in the province of Monovia (Two Martyrs, Natopia). Its lordship is vacant. A garrison for the lordship is provided by the ESB-Brunïakis-Afzælt.

The primary economic activity of Chur is sealing, with whalers in the employ of SATCo entering Chur Cove to massacre a third of the adult population each year after the conclusion of breeding season. In 1688 this side trade produced a harvest of 40,000 seal skins and 2,800 tons of elephant seal oil. The butchered carcasses of the seals are left to the natives of the enclave, where seal meat is devoured with gusto - being something of a local delicacy. Such meat as is not consumed in the glut of feasting that attends the arrival and departure of the whaling fleet is taken to the smokehouses that dot the shoreline, a third of which being stored to keep the natives fed during the lean months of winter while the remainder is typically exported to Tapfer where it is further processed by the foodstuffs division of the Honourable Company on that continent and marketed as pet food.
