The Imperial State of Chescesque is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Alex I with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 5.014 billion Chescesqueans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chesqaqia. The average income tax rate is 58.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chescesquean economy, worth 684 trillion Dollas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,599 Dollas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Chesqaqia, a formerly quiet little town is now booming as both a cult centre and a tourist attraction, government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chescesque's national animal is the Springbok, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Chescesque is ranked 16,149^th in the world and 11^th in The Commonwealth Society for Most Cultured, scoring 100 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
