The Protectorate of Cemochaopia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 3.267 billion Cemochaopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Cemochaopian economy, worth 70.0 trillion guilders 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 Tourism, Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. 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 21,436 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Cemochaopia's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Cemochaopia is ranked 250,116^th in the world and 2^nd in Somalia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
