The Provisional government of Cheesystan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Provisional government of CheesyStan with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.579 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 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 70.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cheddarian economy, worth 171 trillion Cheddars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 108,451 Cheddars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. 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 21,110^th in the world and 217^th in Europe for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,942.44 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
