The Republic of North Kanuckistan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Van Ueff III with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 8.222 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, socially-minded 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 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming North Kanuckistanian economy, worth 868 trillion Kanucks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,583 Kanucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, news headlines usually include p-values, holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 216,379^th in the world and 11,005^th in the South Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.52 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
