The Most Serene Republic of New Chechovenia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lizbeth Chechien with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 15.649 billion New Chechovenians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Chech City. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The New Chechovenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,529 trillion Chechiots a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 97,711 Chechiots, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, aspiring authors begrudgingly help proofread issue submissions (New Chechovenia has found 2 easter eggs), the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Chechovenia's national animal is the Chechosaurus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Chechovenia is ranked 315,667^th in the world and 310^th in Forest for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -22.54 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
