The Holy Empire of Chokerboy is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chokerboy with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.92 billion Chokerboi are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Failure. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Chokerboi economy, worth a remarkable 2,229 trillion milks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 187,008 milks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 612,278 per year while the poor average 42,901, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Anti-environmentalist dissidents must beware of government plants in their midst, vets have been drafted in to help "fix" those who fail the parental license exam, the most common doctor's prescription is "get out of my consulting room", and chemically brainwashed citizens praise Chokerboy's name on an hourly basis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chokerboy's national animal is the rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Laestadianism.

Chokerboy is ranked 8,400th in the world and 480th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
