The Holy Cheesedom of Swiss Cheese Wheel is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Davy Crockett with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.4 billion tricycles 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blue Plastic Cup. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.6%.

The all-consuming tricycleian economy, worth 180 trillion cheeses a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,139 cheeses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 505,230 per year while the poor average 22,487, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

Police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Swiss Cheese Wheel's national animal is the exotic cheese toucan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Davism.

Swiss Cheese Wheel is ranked 267,014th in the world and 4,418th in the South Pacific for Most Secular, with 12.05 Atheism Rate.
