The Grand Duchy of Upper Chevaleir is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.604 billion Chevaleirians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Contair. The average income tax rate is 18.8%.

The Upper Chevaleirian economy, worth 82.8 trillion Marquises a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,618 Marquises, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

All fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, a handful of megacorporations own every "craft brewery" in the nation, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, and governments opposing Upper Chevaleir are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Chevaleir's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Upper Chevaleir is ranked 32,826^th in the world and 8^th in Sparkalia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,211.68 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
