The Dictatorship of CANNBISHIVEMIND is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, conspicuous electricity pylons, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 699 million CANNABINOIDians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of m421ju4n4L4ND. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.3%.

The powerhouse CANNBISHIVEMINDian economy, worth 80.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 114,967 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, and it's best to decline if Leader offers to buy a round of drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CANNBISHIVEMIND's national animal is the Cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

CANNBISHIVEMIND is ranked 35,639^th in the world and 1,637^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 43.88 quips per hour.
