The Queendom of Cher is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning auto-tune population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 24.452 billion Cherians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of California. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.3%.

The strong Cherian economy, worth 480 trillion records a year, is highly specialized and dominated by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 19,656 records, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 62,441 per year while the poor average 4,713, a ratio of 13.2 to 1.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside. Crime is moderate. Cher's national animal is the auto-tune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cher is ranked 156,361^st in the world and 44^th in Department Store for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 797.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
