The Empire of Kanadorika is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Eðvarð Grímólfsson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, anti-smoking policies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.028 billion Kanadorikans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fljóthøfn. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.4%.

The all-consuming Kanadorikan economy, worth a remarkable 2,190 trillion ᚠ Krónas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,652 ᚠ Krónas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 363,159 per year while the poor average 36,483, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

Lion is one of the most popular forenames in Kanadorika, Prime Minister Eðvarð Grímólfsson's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Kanadorikan pirates, and people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanadorika's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Eyjanjc Church.

Kanadorika is ranked 25,080^th in the world and 1^st in Etharia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
