The Santa of Kantobliv is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Santa with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.371 billion Kantians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ultra Oblivew Metropolis. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kantoblivian economy, worth a remarkable 3,442 trillion P$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 239,574 P$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Santa has won three lotteries in a row, visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Santa, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime is totally unknown. Kantobliv's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elemental Nature's Balance.

Kantobliv is ranked 11,631st in the world and 8th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Stationary, with 2,121.3466284484 days.
