The Federation of Kan Albeesstan is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.643 billion Kan Albeesstanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kan Albeesstanian economy, worth 782 trillion kronics a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,739 kronics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle", Kan Albeesstan City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kan Albeesstan's national animal is the hamster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kan Albeesstan is ranked 300,560th in the world and 3,201st in the Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -7.1 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
