The People's Collective of Knuckles the Hedgehog is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Amy Kay ASMR with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.859 billion Knuckles the Hedgehogs are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The Knuckles the Hedgehog economy, worth 239 trillion chaos emeralds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 62,093 chaos emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, kindergarten teachers with ankle-bracelets are closely supervised by their parole officers, and witches' brews set off Geiger counters. Crime is totally unknown. Knuckles the Hedgehog's national animal is the Knuckles the Hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Amy Kayism.
