The Dominion of 8 Islas Canarias is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Bentejuí with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 6.891 billion Canarians 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Laguna. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Canarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion gofios a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 182,976 gofios, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs, and faithful allies are always valued. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 8 Islas Canarias's national animal is the baifo, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
8 Islas Canarias is ranked 13,250th in the world and 668th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,073.35 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
