The Peoples Socialist Republic of Cholekiagrad is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Mikhail Lanonov with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 1.808 billion Choleks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chelyan. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cholekian economy, worth 285 trillion Shukas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 157,987 Shukas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, the only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and people boast about their low income on their dating profiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cholekiagrad's national animal is the Cholek Pariah Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cholekiagrad is ranked 9,203^rd in the world and 269^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,614.1 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
