The Republic of Cherno Alpha is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 23.561 billion Cherno Alphans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is primarily concerned with Healthcare, although Environment, Education, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Cherno Alphan economy, worth 819 trillion Tesla Coils a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Soda Sales. Average income is 34,769 Tesla Coils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cherno Alpha's national animal is the Kaiju, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cherno Alpha is ranked 108,539^th in the world and 2,470^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
