The Fiefdom of ChelseaDraik is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.052 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. The average income tax rate is 69%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Child adoption by homosexual couples has been outlawed, Red Cross demand for body bags are rising while sutures are decreasing, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and eminent domain has been abolished. Crime is totally unknown. ChelseaDraik's national animal is the borovan-chelseanus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the draiksmark.

ChelseaDraik is ranked 13th in Great Britain and Ireland and 93,298th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
