The Imperial Republic of Cherlia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Autarch Stanislaus Radec with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.743 billion Cherlians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kherlys. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cherlian economy, worth a remarkable 3,271 trillion Marks a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 174,537 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cherlia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cult Imperial.

Cherlia is ranked 150,445th in the world and 5,913th in Balder for Highest Food Quality, scoring 15.52 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
