The Republic of Canvalland is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by PM Peter Grett with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.57 billion Canvish enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bailcast. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Canvish economy, worth a remarkable 2,196 trillion Canvish Golcas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 229,527 Canvish Golcas, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Bars are packed at all hours, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, and political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions. Crime is totally unknown. Canvalland's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Canvish Asatru.

Canvalland is ranked 3,071^st in the world and 1^st in Planetary Union of Earth for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 154,013.08 Standard Monetary Units.
