Nation/Candricka

The United Provinces of Candricka is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Jacob Jones with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.46 billion Candrickans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rickanville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.3%.

The strong Candrickan economy, worth 79.7 trillion quesions a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 54,586 quesions, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 155,617 per year while the poor average 15,268, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Candricka's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Candricka is ranked 36,694th in the world and 17th in United Kingdoms of Kalsland for Most Inclusive, scoring 116.02 on the Mandela-Wollstonecraft Non-Discrimination Index.
