The Webcomic RolePlaying Game of Darths and Droids is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by First Cheddar Monk Qui-Gon Jim with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 16.665 billion Cheddar Monks are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Administration, although Environment, Welfare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Defense is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theed. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cheddar economy, worth a remarkable 5,846 trillion Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. 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 an amazing 350,822 Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Cheddar Embarrassments, education and welfare spending are on the rise, the government evicts ethnic minorities by stranding them in the wilderness, and Theed has become the number one destination for urban exploration in the Pacific. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Darths and Droids's national animal is the Summon Bigger Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dice Rolling.

Darths and Droids is ranked 11,475th in the world and 74th in the Pacific for Nudest, with 965.5 cheeks per square mile.
