The Holy Citadel of Canturin is a massive, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.343 billion Canturites 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 prioritizes Education, with Administration, Welfare, and Spirituality also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monastery Castle of Saint John. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Canturite economy, worth 99.4 trillion Denalms a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,995 Denalms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, tourists visit Canturin to mass-moon Canturite politicians, the government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, and school lockers are filled with fancy underwear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canturin's national animal is the Pelican, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Canturin is ranked 5,476^th in the world and 15^th in Angelic League for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 10,988.81 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
