The Free Land of Cananasa is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 728 million Cananasans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cananasapoliosis. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cananasan economy, worth 69.6 trillion Melts a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 95,634 Melts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, Leader can cry on demand, and organisations with 800 in their phone number are often raided by special forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cananasa's national animal is the kingfishers, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cananasa is ranked 163,257^th in the world and 1,986^th in the West Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,539.61 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
