The Republic of Diche Choklate is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Jorgenson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.271 billion Choklatians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Townsville. The average income tax rate is 7.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Choklatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,800 trillion Cashmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 287,150 Cashmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Diche Choklate, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Choklatian mussels the biggest in Osiris, the fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Diche Choklate's national animal is the Alligator, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Canoism.

Diche Choklate is ranked 8,573rd in the world and 429th in Osiris for Most Cultured, scoring 127 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
