The Arctic Empire of Free Capitalist Canada is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Barack Obama VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.355 billion Canadians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winnipeg. The average income tax rate is 72.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Canadian economy, worth 477 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,610 Canadian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, bike rage is all the rage, voting is voluntary, and high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Free Capitalist Canada's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mooseism.

Free Capitalist Canada is ranked 17,785^th in the world and 1^st in Commonwealth of Arctic Powers for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 3,540.01 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
