The Republic of Cheynote is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 4.892 billion Cheynoteans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.4%.

The very strong Cheynotean economy, worth 283 trillion rubledollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 57,947 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 287,164 per year while the poor average 6,630, a ratio of 43.3 to 1.

Crime is a problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Cheynote's national animal is the hawk.

Cheynote is ranked 85,665^th in the world and 2,612^th in Suspicious for Most Corrupt Governments, with 18.89 kickbacks per hour.
