The Empire of Northcanadia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Shail Patel with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, infamous sell-swords, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 22.941 billion Northcanadians 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 tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of megatropalas. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Northcanadian economy, worth a remarkable 9,206 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 401,319 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders are advising that Shail Patel's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, schoolchildren learn an R-rated version of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", the government seizes all major gold finds, and the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales. Crime is totally unknown. Northcanadia's national animal is the Koala Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northcanadia is ranked 631^st in the world and 13^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 18,539.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
