The Canadians Silent Guardian of Carbanousa is a gargantuan, devout nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.418 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Public Transport receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Gambling and Uranium Mining.

Carbanousa has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, almost all of Carbanousa's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Carbanousa's national animal is the Seraphim, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Feather.

Carbanousa is ranked 164th in Canada and 100,440th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
