The People's Federation of Canadian Democratic Union is a massive, safe nation, ruled by First Secretary Jakob Ulrich with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, avant-garde cinema, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.015 billion Canadians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vancouver. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Canadian economy, worth 332 trillion Federal Social Credits 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 110,276 Federal Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, a government program is underway to revitalize Canadian Democratic Union's beaches, children crying over dropped ice creams are offered high doses of experimental antidepressants, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Canadian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canadian Democratic Union's national animal is the Proletariat Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State-Secularism.

Canadian Democratic Union is ranked 30,782^nd in the world and 326^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,587.49 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
