The Armed Republic of Chandelier Group is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Jacob Wildingham with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.789 billion Chandelians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chandelier City. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Chandelian economy, worth 93.4 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,230 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, the education system has gotten a recent boost in spending, Chandelians are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, and tourists aren't the only ones that talk about coming back from a trip. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chandelier Group's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Mantraism.

Chandelier Group is ranked 165,427^th in the world and 6^th in Zecrarth for Most Primitive, scoring -51.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
