The Chair Kingdom of Cerdenia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by King Chair I with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.783 billion Cerdenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Healthcare also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chairville. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cerdenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,023 trillion Chaircoins a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 120,588 Chaircoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight, the holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, and the media seems excessively interested in what King Chair I is wearing this season. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cerdenia's national animal is the Flying Chair, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cult of the Chair.

Cerdenia is ranked 164,499^th in the world and 8,659^th in Osiris for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,711.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
