The Republic of Chessmaster is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Roberto Fish with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning badboy population. The hard-working population of 37 billion Chessmasterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Limopolis. The average income tax rate is 29.4%.

The Chessmasterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,510 trillion goodgirls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,816 goodgirls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, decongestants have replaced goodgirls in street transactions, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, and it is not politically correct to suspect that a serially convicted burglar might steal again. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Chessmaster's national animal is the badboy and its national religion is Sufistic Taoism.

Chessmaster is ranked 129,512^th in the world and 1^st in Athine for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.86 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
