The Cheeses of Cheesystan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Luigi Taleggio with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.621 billion Cheddarians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cheesetopia. The average income tax rate is 56.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Cheddarian economy, worth 289 trillion Cheddars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 110,603 Cheddars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign workers are flooding in as Cheddars flood out, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, a bill to outlaw math homework has been submitted, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Cheesetopia Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cheesystan's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cheesyism.

Cheesystan is ranked 113,256th in the world and 478th in Europe for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 70.94 Workforce Participation Rate.
