The Webcomic RolePlaying Game of Darths and Droids is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by First Cheddar Monk Qui-Gon Jim with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, infamous sell-swords, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 8.824 billion Cheddar Monks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Theed. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Cheddar economy, worth a remarkable 2,571 trillion Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 291,374 Lost Orbs of Phanatacoria, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, garishly-decorated government buildings are being hailed as the height of 'religious nouveau', bins outnumber trees in city parks, and many friends and relatives of First Cheddar Monk Qui-Gon Jim have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Darths and Droids's national animal is the Summon Bigger Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Dice Rolling.
Darths and Droids is ranked 244,048th in the world and 5,943rd in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.45 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
