The Holy Cheesedom of Swiss Cheese Wheel is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Davy Crockett with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, complete lack of public education, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.355 billion tricycles 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 is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blue Plastic Cup. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.3%.

The all-consuming tricycleian economy, worth 175 trillion cheeses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,426 cheeses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 490,109 per year while the poor average 23,753, a ratio of 20.6 to 1.

Flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, and the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Swiss Cheese Wheel's national animal is the exotic cheese toucan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Davism.

Swiss Cheese Wheel is ranked 304,326^th in the world and 4,932^nd in the South Pacific for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -11.75 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
