The State of Chukakustaad is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.823 billion Chukakustaadians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Chukakustaadian economy, worth a remarkable 1,032 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 43,331 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 294,598 per year while the poor average 2,328, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, and Chukakustaad has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Chukakustaad's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Chukakustaad is ranked 35,334th in the world and 144th in Ancient Lands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,754.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
