The Imperial State of Chescesque is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alex I with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, devout population of 4.865 billion Chescesqueans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chesqaqia. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chescesquean economy, worth 667 trillion Dollas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,240 Dollas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, and troublemakers boast about how many times they have to visit their therapist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chescesque's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chescesque is ranked 35,038^th in the world and 11^th in The Commonwealth Society for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 6,442 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
