The Dominion of Cheesetopia IV is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by god king liam with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.332 billion Cheesetopia IVians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.0%.

The thriving Cheesetopia IVian economy, worth 104 trillion euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,634 euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 407,801 per year while the poor average 8,215, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, Cheesetopia IVians have replaced bears in a popular idiom, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, and couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens. Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Cheesetopia IV's national animal is the naked mole rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is liamism.

Cheesetopia IV is ranked 249,177th in the world and 8,790th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 45.7 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
