The Nomadic Peoples of Tsjaka-Tsjaka is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Salva The Wise with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.358 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tsjaka-Tsjaka's national animal is the armadillo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the kleo.

Tsjaka-Tsjaka is ranked 23rd in Ireland and 81,642nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -18 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
