The Sarcasm Tag of Canaltia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jason Nicoli with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 14.082 billion Canaltians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

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

The frighteningly efficient Canaltian economy, worth a remarkable 3,547 trillion pence 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 major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 251,930 pence, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In a baffling press conference Jason Nicoli proudly dismantled a broken door, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife. Crime is totally unknown. Canaltia's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is pointless.

Canaltia is ranked 1,777th in the world and 29th in Forest for Most Cultured, scoring 281 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
