The Republic of Chernoffer is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory vegetarianism, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 210 million Chernofferians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 22.8%.

The Chernofferian economy, worth 9.19 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,780 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, the most common answers to where babies come from are "uh... ask your mother" and "um... ask your father", no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chernoffer's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Chernoffer is ranked 254,089^th in the world and 6^th in No Mans Land for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -4 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
