The Colony of Cannova is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, devout population of 7.356 billion Cannovans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense and Healthcare are also considered important, while Environment and Industry receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.7%.

The Cannovan economy, worth 277 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 37,712 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Surveillance cameras are banned, international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Cannova, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cannova's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cannova is ranked 135,736^th in the world and 9^th in Oatland for Most Patriotic, with 11.53 flags saluted per person per day.
