The Holy Empire of Candy lands is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, devout population of 1.073 billion Candy landsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saccharia Imperialis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.3%.

The thriving Candy landsian economy, worth 59.6 trillion Imperial Florin Ƒs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 55,560 Imperial Florin Ƒs, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Candy lands to be bombproof, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Candy lands's national animal is the Imperial Crystal Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Candy lands is ranked 244,538^th in the world and 8^th in Aurora League for Largest Populations, with 1.07 billion capita.
