The Republic of Cwh637 is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, disturbing lack of elderly people, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.786 billion Cwh637ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cwh637ian economy, worth 780 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 163,117 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Money can't buy you love but you can purchase a reasonable approximation of it, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cwh637's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cwh637 is ranked 30,525^th in the world and 68^th in Crestwood Heights for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,644.33 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
