The For the love of Chetssaland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ron Burgundy with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 6.398 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sexy Time. The average income tax rate is 5%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Gambling, and Book Publishing industries.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, most governmental positions are filled by zealous nationalists, Chetssaland's leader goes out to lunch surrounded by large men in dark glasses, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chetssaland's national animal is the Hillbilly Handfisher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is More Cowbell, and its currency is the Bron Bron.

Chetssaland is ranked 8th in Angolis and 91,813th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
