The Kingdom of Chessell is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Cenwalh with a fair hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.229 billion Chessellians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moortown. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Chessellian economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 trillion marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,436 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying "don't do anything that King Cenwalh wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Chessellian lands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chessell's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is pagan.

Chessell is ranked 28,018^th in the world and 9^th in Wihtwara for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
