The Socialist Commonwealth of Kanoshu is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ayaka Kassai with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.672 billion Kanoshuans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El'Kassar. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanoshuan economy, worth 189 trillion Keonas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 113,563 Keonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Panicking criminals no longer flush contraband down the toilet, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and billions of Keonas are spent to take high-quality photos of the Panlong Nebula. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanoshu's national animal is the Panlong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suruitkuism.

Kanoshu is ranked 231,769^th in the world and 139^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Patriotic, with 2.81 flags saluted per person per day.
