The Protectorate of Chekism is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 649 million Russians 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 large, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Chekismian economy, worth 19.5 trillion Russian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 30,041 Russian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chekism's national animal is the Russian Bear.

Chekism is ranked 247,533^rd in the world and 2^nd in Soviet Russia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,878.47 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
