The Empire of Chernabog is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 23.029 billion Chernabogians 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, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Chernabogian economy, worth 277 trillion Latinums 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 12,061 Latinums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, gambling is outlawed, genetic researchers have been expelled, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chernabog's national animal is the Demon.

Chernabog is ranked 14,825^th in the world and 1^st in Knights of Ren for Largest Populations, with 23.0 billion capita.
