The Webcomic RolePlaying Game of Darths and Droids is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by First Cheddar Monk Qui-Gon Jim with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avant-garde cinema, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 15.379 billion Cheddar Monks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, 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 and Education receive no funds. 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 5,261 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 342,122 Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, and national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 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.

Darths and Droids is ranked 290,697th in the world and 4,101st in the Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -48.91 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
