The Kingdom of Candarus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 14.255 billion Candarians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Administration are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ontaria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Candarusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,481 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,902 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Candarus's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Candarus is ranked 283,153^rd in the world and 8^th in Arconian Empire for Most Conservative, scoring 27.36 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
