The United Revolutionary States of Canineia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Fluffy with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.225 billion Canineians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canidae Harbour. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Canineian economy, worth 117 trillion Caners a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 52,915 Caners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Strip mining of rare earth metals is up while back problems are down, tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, and employers may fire workers without giving any reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive 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 187,064^th in the world and 6,624^th in The North Pacific for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring zero on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
