The Commonwealth of North-Canada is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its burgeoning horse population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 18.6 billion North-Canadans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped North-Canadan economy, worth 465 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,043 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North-Canada's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North-Canada is ranked 161,544^th in the world and 1^st in Mountair Card System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
