The Armed Republic of Chandelier Group is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 1.037 billion Chandelians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chandelier City. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Chandelier Groupian economy, worth 49.1 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,344 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sanitised and dull music festivals of Chandelier Group are famed for their reasonable volume levels, minority children find the right answer in school tests is always the most insulting one, parties on cruise ships go off with a real bang, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, 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.

Chandelier Group is ranked 110,696^th in the world and 5^th in Zecrarth for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
