The Free Land of Kaantriye is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 203 million Kaantrijmannen are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kaantriyean economy, worth 7.79 trillion Ruuflijes a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,360 Ruuflijes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaantriye's national animal is the Voëlvis-Hertrot, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaantriye is ranked 40,168^th in the world and 457^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
