The Pacifist Dominion of The Canadian Peoples Republic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Pierre Gagnon with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.988 billion Canadians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ottawa. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Canadian economy, worth 189 trillion Canadian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,240 Canadian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pierre Gagnon has just been declared ruler of The Canadian Peoples Republic in an international press conference, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, and drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Canadian Peoples Republic's national animal is the Moose, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Canadian Peoples Republic is ranked 8,863^rd in the world and 524^th in The North Pacific for Best Weather, with 232 Meters Of Sunlight.
