The One True Way of Canaveran Empire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Overlord Canaver with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, vat-grown people, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.336 billion serviles are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parasanti. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Canaveran Empirean economy, worth a remarkable 1,029 trillion souls 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 192,996 souls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Endocrinology is a rapidly growing field of study, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, the Police Surveillance Unit's motto is "Gotta Catch 'Em All", and decreased demand for toilets is saving the prison service a lot of money. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Canaveran Empire's national animal is the Death Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cult of the Overlord.

Canaveran Empire is ranked 3,344^th in the world and 31^st in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with 42 Valid Endorsements.
