The Webcomic RolePlaying Game of Darths and Droids is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by First Cheddar Monk Qui-Gon Jim with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 16.682 billion Cheddar Monks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Administration, with Environment, Welfare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theed. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Cheddar economy, worth a remarkable 5,866 trillion Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. 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 351,688 Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Darths and Droids's national animal is the Summon Bigger Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dice Rolling.
