The Socialist Isles of Cerkesi is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Rhushru Viazari with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 913 million Cerkesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telefuiva. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cerkesian economy, worth 85.4 trillion zavas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 93,529 zavas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbers who trim a few inches of hair bill the government for their labor, requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, and recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed. Crime is totally unknown. Cerkesi's national animal is the lionfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cerkesi is ranked 143,682^nd in the world and 369^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,529.33 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
