The Incorporated States of Choccolate is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Willonidas Wonka de Lindt with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, otherworldly petting zoo, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.853 billion Chocolateries have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cadbury. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Chocolatin economy, worth 884 trillion cacao beans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 129,119 cacao beans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Charity fundraisers often resemble minstrel shows, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Choccolate's national animal is the coco monkey king, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Xocoatl ô quetzal.
Choccolate is ranked 212,366th in the world and 7th in Lewisham for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.24 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
