The Commonwealth of Schilcheristan is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 960 million Schilcherians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The powerhouse Schilcheristanian economy, worth 77.2 trillion Waeras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 80,454 Waeras, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,198 per year while the poor average 13,551, a ratio of 23.7 to 1.

Schilcheristan recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, politicians are fired for opening subjective statements with "I believe", and Schilcheristan's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Schilcheristan's national animal is the Serval, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Schilcheristan is ranked 89,127^th in the world and 176^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 64.61 on the Human Development Index.
