The Commonwealth of Charburek is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Toothy with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 13.422 billion Charbureks have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cherrek. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Charburekian economy, worth 850 trillion Chonks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,374 Chonks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Schoolboys trained in chivalry are encouraged to duel other boys for a maiden's hand, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, eminent domain has been abolished, and in musicals everybody's a little bit racist. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charburek's national animal is the Chital, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Charburek is ranked 20,541^st in the world and 1^st in Neurope for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 77.47 Effective Tax Rate.
