The Empire of Chex Mix is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General Mills with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.191 billion Chex Mixians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Chex Mix Bag. The average income tax rate is 83.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chex Mixian economy, worth 684 trillion Chex Pieces a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,457 Chex Pieces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, sushi is sold on the black market, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, and children grow up believing the sun to be a myth. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chex Mix's national animal is the Table, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chex Mix is ranked 115,110^th in the world and 6^th in the Order of the Silver Compass for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,798.83 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
