The The Last Fatal Hour of Candidate is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 798 million Candidateans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Candidatean economy, worth 44.0 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,194 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The new one peso coin also makes a handy throwing-star, homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, and the government has outlawed extremist parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Candidate's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Candidate is ranked 184,589th in the world and 1,385th in Suspicious for Smartest Citizens, with 26.75 quips per hour.
