The State of Cheneaux is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 31.515 billion Cheneauxians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The thriving Cheneauxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,511 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 47,950 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Cheneaux has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cheneaux's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cheneaux is ranked 3,854^th in the world and 6^th in Namibia for Largest Populations, with 31.5 billion capita.
