The Chussen of IverChekt is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by OMeko Waffles Tackett with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.628 billion Chektians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Martinsburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient IverChektian economy, worth 427 trillion Arach Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,703 Arach Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.0 times as much as the poorest.

The IverChektian Crime Prevention Agency closely scans millions of digital shopping lists for signs of insurrection, fly fishermen are legally forbidden from using electronic lures, finders keepers is the law of the land, and when conspiracy theorists talk about "government moles" they're referring to mysteriously mobile skin lesions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. IverChekt's national animal is the Aurochs, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Chussenism.

IverChekt is ranked 187,497th in the world and 21st in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Populations, with 2.63 billion capita.
