The Protectorate of The All-knowing Chair is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chairy with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 7.487 billion All-knowing Chairians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chair City. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The All-knowing Chairian economy, worth 612 trillion Chairs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,752 Chairs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and the military claims that their threatening letters are signed with the blood of their enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The All-knowing Chair's national animal is the Chair, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of the All-knowing Chair.

The All-knowing Chair is ranked 183,897th in the world and 473rd in Sunset Shimmer for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 417.04 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
