The Dual Republics of Kanokla is a huge, safe nation, ruled by President Jaque Johnson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory gun ownership, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 994 million Kanoklies 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Topehoma City. The average income tax rate is 66.0%.

The all-consuming Kanoklie economy, worth 86.8 trillion Kanoklie Francs a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 87,310 Kanoklie Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kanokla's national animal is the tumbleweed, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kanokla is ranked 40,984^th in the world and 451^st in Europe for Highest Average Incomes, with 87,310.04 Standard Monetary Units.
