The Republic of Qanaqa is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.395 billion Qanaqans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Law & Order and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Industry aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 16.3%.

The strong Qanaqan economy, worth 221 trillion Qanaqan Qaqaqas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 50,416 Qanaqan Qaqaqas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. Qanaqa's national animal is the fox, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Qanaqa is ranked 87,553^rd in the world and 3^rd in Roses With Thorns for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
