The Incorporated States of Choccolate is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Willonidas Wonka de Lindt with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.914 billion Chocolateries have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cadbury. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chocolatin economy, worth a remarkable 1,585 trillion cacao beans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,094 cacao beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Model railroad hobbyists have taken to muscling model shipbuilders off their "turf", descriptions of properties as "a stone's throw from the city centre" require a trebuchet to be true, Willonidas Wonka de Lindt has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, and homes without staircases are considered a step up in luxury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Choccolate's national animal is the coco monkey king, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Xocoatl ô quetzal.

Choccolate is ranked 15,304th in the world and 2nd in Lewisham for Most Cultured, scoring 96 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
