The Free Land of United Canara is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lucius with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 13.204 billion Canarans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helliosis. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Canaran economy, worth a remarkable 5,285 trillion Skulls a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 400,320 Skulls, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,540,930 per year while the poor average 26,156, a ratio of 97.1 to 1.
Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, a significant number of Brachiosauruses are being prosecuted on charges of child abuse, and bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers'. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. United Canara's national animal is the Brachiosaurus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Demonology.
United Canara is ranked 314,075th in the world and 1st in Terra Pro Redditu for Most Primitive, scoring -746.7 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
