The Cyclicality of Cannisia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by δ-me13 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, soft-spoken computers, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.847 billion Farseois are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exomyth. The average income tax rate is 47.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Cannisian economy, worth 128 trillion times a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 45,200 times, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Cannisia's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cannisia's national animal is the speck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Recalculation.

Cannisia is ranked 20,441^st in the world and 3^rd in Enomenos for Nicest Citizens, with 22.56 average smiles per day.
