The Goosedom of Canadian Dominion is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Hjonkson the Goose with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.858 billion Canadians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Toronto. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Canadian economy, worth 341 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,622 Canadian Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 526,497 per year while the poor average 17,060, a ratio of 30.9 to 1.

Netizens fiercely argue over who loves Hjonkson the Goose more, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, and asking what someone does for a living is considered a faux pax for being potentially jobist. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Canadian Dominion's national animal is the Goose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Hockey.

Canadian Dominion is ranked 19,672^nd in the world and 17^th in Atlantian Oceania for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,613.81 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
