The Free Insurgent Movement of Chesk is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Anarchist Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 3.484 billion Chekans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bratisrad. The average income tax rate is 8.5%.
The powerhouse Chekan economy, worth 291 trillion Tlordian Dollars 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, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Gambling, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 83,684 Tlordian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
The bum of Anarchist Council has been voted the most recognisable in Chesk, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, and unemployed judges can be found squatting in abandoned courthouses. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Chesk's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Chesk is ranked 268,177th in the world and 9,911th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.89 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
