The Cascadian State of Chukstik Illahi is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.788 billion Chukstikians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Q'alis Illahi. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chukstikian economy, worth an astonishing 10,239 trillion Chickamins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 469,971 Chickamins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Hazmat suits are a common Chukstikian garb, teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, divorcees attending custody disputes tend to wear black-and-white zigzag patterns, and political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads. Crime is totally unknown. Chukstik Illahi's national animal is the Orca -whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Chukstik Illahi is ranked 102^nd in the world and 9^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 11,038.15 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
