The Empire of Canedranian is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.183 billion Canedrans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Canedranianian economy, worth 153 trillion Space Rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,079 Space Rocks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Canedranianian surveillance, and the numbers on the latest spending report are reaching stellar levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Canedranian's national animal is the Evil Rabbits, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Canedranian is ranked 26,083^rd in the world and 1,457^th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,927.02 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
