The Grand Confederation of Cannidarsa is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by President Felix Helmig with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.347 billion Cannidarsans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pisky Old Town. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cannidarsan economy, worth a remarkable 7,439 trillion Confederation Zlatniks 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 Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 305,563 Confederation Zlatniks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stone wrist watches that weigh 20lb are the latest trend, criminals identify as innocent, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, and government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time. Crime is totally unknown. Cannidarsa's national animal is the Cannidarsan Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cannidarsa is ranked 3,091^st in the world and 1^st in Karnickel Islands for Highest Average Incomes, with 305,563.2 Standard Monetary Units.
