The Empire of Great Cane is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Cornelius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.273 billion Canish 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bourge. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Canish economy, worth 414 trillion Cane Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,698 Cane Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, and Canishes have recently stopped mysteriously setting off metal detectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Cane's national animal is the Gold Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Church of Cane.

Great Cane is ranked 134,769th in the world and 710th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,605.21 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
