The Empire and Her Commonwealth of Kanzlia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Szebdin Olymotzky with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.276 billion Kanzlians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Szbedansk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanzlian economy, worth a remarkable 1,485 trillion Gelders a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,454 Gelders, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation tends not to learn from its history, creating cardboard imitations of missiles is a new top-secret military project, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanzlia's national animal is the Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Loyalty.

Kanzlia is ranked 197,597th in the world and 5,117th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 50.3776413694 days.
