The Republic of Chet Walker is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, avowedly heterosexual populace, and enslaved workforce. The compassionate, cynical population of 945 million Chet Walkerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.8%.

The powerhouse Chet Walkerian economy, worth 85.3 trillion Gameses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 90,227 Gameses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 374,146 per year while the poor average 14,264, a ratio of 26.2 to 1.

Any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, Blackacrean security services are wondering why Leader is so fond of the numbers 6, 7 and 9, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and kindhearted Chet Walkerians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chet Walker's national animal is the Player, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Chet Walker is ranked 169,981^st in the world and 9,423^rd in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 526.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
