The Standard Model of Cantors Paradise is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Aleph Omega with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.849 billion Cantorians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital V. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cantorian economy, worth 813 trillion omegabucks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 139,076 omegabucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and citizens finish cleaning up after the annual National Treasure Hunt just in time for the next one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cantors Paradise's national animal is the cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Platonism.

Cantors Paradise is ranked 135,934th in the world and 23rd in Gypsy Lands for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,155.59 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
