The Raging Bear of Canadian North California is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Westerman Merrick Lowe with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 8.547 billion Desert Ravagers are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the now militaristic town of Vancamento. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Canadian North Californian economy, worth a remarkable 1,859 trillion Desert Rubies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 217,529 Desert Rubies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and the state funds the recreational drug habits of every citizen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canadian North California's national animal is the irradiated desert vulture, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The followers of the Desert Sun.

Canadian North California is ranked 7,091^st in the world and 2^nd in Valaryia for Most Patriotic, with 71.3 flags saluted per person per day.
