The Parliamentary Commonwealth of Unchagah is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Lawrence Eader with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 45.618 billion Unchagahians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Unchagah City. The average income tax rate is 99.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Unchagahian economy, worth a remarkable 7,692 trillion Unchagan Dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 168,623 Unchagan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

High school bands practice by moonlight, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay, and construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Unchagah's national animal is the trumpeter swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Unchagah is ranked 244^th in the world and 1^st in Eagleland for Largest Populations, with 45.6 billion capita.
