The Disputed Territories of -Canon-Ship is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.028 billion -Canon-Shipians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The -Canon-Shipian economy, worth 51.5 trillion snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 50,136 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All footpaths have tollbooths, the stock market has been destroyed for its own protection, movement-triggered sensors mean that for every door that closes another one opens, and the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. -Canon-Ship's national animal is the owl, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

-Canon-Ship is ranked 81,757^th in the world and 10^th in Cringe and Poggers for Most Avoided, scoring 2.9 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
