The Greatest Republic of Kanria is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tanya Shongwe Karsprintian with an even hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.641 billion Kanrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kanrihara Kakken. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanrian economy, worth 836 trillion Kauis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,363 Kauis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, high school bands practice by moonlight, and coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanria's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Karinoshi.

Kanria is ranked 194,075^th in the world and 7,746^th in The East Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -317.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
