The Federation of Kankareenjarvi Lake is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.318 billion Kankareenjarvi Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 27.6%.

The strong Kankareenjarvi Lakean economy, worth 89.3 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 67,781 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and Calvinball players are lost for days as they wander the vast halls of their new academies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kankareenjarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kankareenjarvi Lake is ranked 335,981st in the world and 314th in Lakes in Finland for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.17 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
