The Republic of North Kanuckistan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Van Ueff III with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.068 billion North Kanuckies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beaverton. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Kanuckistanian economy, worth 944 trillion Kanucks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,208 Kanucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Kanuckistan's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Kanuckistan is ranked 164,606^th in the world and 5,818^th in the South Pacific for Nudest, with 88.5 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
