The Kingdom of Cherex is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Erin Pallus with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The compassionate population of 2.296 billion Cherexians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Allison. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Cherexian economy, worth 322 trillion Cils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 140,380 Cils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program, leather-clad individuals can be seen walking their slaves in public parks, debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, and no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cherex's national animal is the Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Lemonism.

Cherex is ranked 203,224^th in the world and 768^th in Europeia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,750.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
