The Republic of The CN is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 186 million CNers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The CNer economy, worth 7.70 trillion Uni-Dollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 41,379 Uni-Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to CNer politicians, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The CN's national animal is the Golden Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The CN is ranked 130,105^th in the world and 131^st in Karma for Nudest, with 146.25 cheeks per square mile.
