The Kingdom of The Unknowable is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Eldest Brother with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.306 billion Unknowableans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bright-Night. The average income tax rate is 36.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Unknowablean economy, worth 835 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 89,735 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The government is engaging in an agricultural trade war with Maxtopia, students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, and smoking is banned in public areas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Unknowable's national animal is the Giant Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Light of the Grey.

The Unknowable is ranked 234,893rd in the world and 4,227th in The East Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 47.56 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
