The Armed Republic of Czerp is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Comrade Okto with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 1.136 billion Czerpians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Czerpian economy, worth 66.8 trillion talents 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 58,827 talents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Czerp's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Czerp is ranked 47,099^th in the world and 26^th in Horizon for Most Corrupt Governments, with 52.87 kickbacks per hour.
