The Mostly Sublime Republic of Cantalvia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Agatha Smythe-Fitzroy with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 24.663 billion Cantalvianis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ratilva. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cantalvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,949 trillion Honorias a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,031 Honorias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, billion-Honoria sentient AI killbots roll through the streets dispensing hot dogs and T-shirts, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Ratilva" t-shirts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cantalvia's national animal is the Gold Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lydialism.

Cantalvia is ranked 34,414^th in the world and 8^th in Mystria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
