The Kingdom of Cherex is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Erin Pallus with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.43 billion Cherexians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allison. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Cherexian economy, worth 345 trillion Cils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 141,871 Cils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National parks have long lines of different gender-specific 'Porta-Pottys', the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cherex's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lemonism.

Cherex is ranked 325,572^nd in the world and 1,394^th in Europeia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -9.63 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
