You might view this riddle on my prefix,
It also comes with cheese,
My infix is the largest of my suffix,
I am a cunning scheme.

What am I?

You are a

MACHINATION: machine, China, nation. I confess I'm not sure I understand the bit about cheese. Largest by population, of course.

EDITED to add:

Some astute commenters point out that instead of viewing this on a machine you could view it on a Mac -- and then you have both the "big Mac and cheese" (a cheeseburger) and "mac and cheese" (a pasta dish). Thanks, @noedne and @MichaelMaggs!

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, your edit in the second paragraph is what I was intending, the cheese was to avoid ambiguity. $\endgroup$
