The Protectorate of Chuukara Treellis is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 112 million Chuukara Treellisians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Chuukara Treellisian economy, worth 9.32 trillion Crellars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,231 Crellars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career, punk rockers smash it up and then clean it up, much of Chuukara Treellis's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence, and seats at the back of the bus are reserved for homosexuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Chuukara Treellis's national animal is the Celestial Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Chuukara Treellis is ranked 19,223^rd in the world and 350^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 7,255.14 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
