It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canidae Harbour. The average income tax rate is 56.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Canineian economy, worth 230 trillion Bones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 57,401 Bones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Canineians seem to be catching more chills, sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, the only position a woman can hold is baby-maker, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canineia's national animal is the Canine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nationalism.

Canineia is ranked 202,226^th in the world and 10,868^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 26.17 on the Hayek Index.
