The Free Land of Cheekss is a large, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 106 million Cheekssians 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 medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Cheekssian economy, worth 3.84 trillion cheeks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 36,243 cheeks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, family isn't who you're born with but who you abandon in foreign countries, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods. Crime is totally unknown. Cheekss's national animal is the naked mole rate.

Cheekss is ranked 99,750^th in the world and 15^th in GloPo226 for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,348.61 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
