The Eggplant of Le Chef is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 23.413 billion Le Chefians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Social Policy, Environment, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 42.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Le Chefian economy, worth 737 trillion Pizzas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 31,484 Pizzas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, a major religion has been named as Le Chef's national religion, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Le Chef's national animal is the Pizza, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Le Chef is ranked 179,539^th in the world and 2,421^st in eta for Highest Drug Use, scoring 122.38 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
