The Celtic Confederate of Canovium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Glyndŵr with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.896 billion Canovas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maes-teg. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Canoviumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,836 trillion Credyds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,400 Credyds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All technology must be personally blessed by religious officials before purchase, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, children are sent to either religious or secular schools, and ill and injured visitors in Canovium have to walk it off until they return home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canovium's national animal is the Ddraig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristnogaeth.

Canovium is ranked 7,411^th in the world and 130^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 471.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
