The Provisional government of Cheesystan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Provisional government of CheesyStan with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.542 billion Cheddarians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nur-Goudan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Cheddarian economy, worth 163 trillion Cheddars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 105,882 Cheddars, with the richest citizens earning 6.9 times as much as the poorest.

Private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, minorities play dumb to get more welfare payments, and business ambassadors offer bong tokes to foreign leaders. 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 133,640^th in the world and 636^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 746.67 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
