The Holy Capitalist Green States of Caninope is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by High Overlord Opie with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 20.05 billion Caninopeans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cookie City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Caninopean economy, worth a remarkable 6,038 trillion dellins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 301,181 dellins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,782,476 per year while the poor average 3,203, a ratio of 868 to 1.

All tariffs have been abolished, construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, farmers are struggling to keep up with demand for local produce, and soldiers are equipped with multi-million dellin battlesuits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Caninope's national animal is the German Sheperd, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Opieism.

Caninope is ranked 645^th in the world and 1^st in The Isle of Malta for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 18,357.66 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
