The 2nd Cheesy Republic of Cheesystan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Président Luigi Taleggio with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.628 billion Cheddarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nur-Goudan. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cheddarian economy, worth 172 trillion Cheddars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 106,113 Cheddars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Interest in globalism never flags, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, romantic sunsets are no longer interrupted by explosions and monstrous roars, and citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cheesystan's national animal is the Great Cheese Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Cheesystan is ranked 23,862^nd in the world and 353^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 253.02 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
