The Kozáctví of Czechostan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alexander Anatol von Below with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 29.41 billion Czechostani are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Slajvekin. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Czechostani economy, worth an astonishing 13,501 trillion cegs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 459,081 cegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, large sections of Czechostan have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, and a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for robin sacrifices. Crime is totally unknown. Czechostan's national animal is the robin, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Czechostan is ranked 879^th in the world and 1^st in Absurdistan for Highest Average Incomes, with 459,081.15 Standard Monetary Units.
