The Sweet Islands of Candy and Chocolate is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Auberi Chatelain with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.319 billion Candy and Chocolateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sugarton. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Candy and Chocolatean economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion sweets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 114,309 sweets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police, and the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Candy and Chocolate's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Candy and Chocolate is ranked 158,688th in the world and 3rd in Dauiland for Most Stationary, with 129.39604218648 days.
