Nation/Canas

The Rogue Nation of Canas is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.909 billion Canasians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 16.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Canasian economy, worth 231 trillion canas a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,260 canas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Canas's national animal is the purple, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Canas is ranked 17,479th in the world and 422nd in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 16,983.06 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
