The Fifth Dual Republics of Kanokla is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Henri LeValley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.373 billion Kanoklans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Georgetown. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kanoklie economy, worth 333 trillion Ameris a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 140,407 Ameris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's taxpayers pay for foreign government's extravagances, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime is totally unknown. Kanokla's national animal is the tumbleweed, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universal Secularism.

Kanokla is ranked 227,476^th in the world and 1,050^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
