The Confederacy of Independant Canada is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 506 million Independant Canadians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cornelia. The average income tax rate is 21.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Independant Canadian economy, worth 44.2 trillion Canadian Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,271 Canadian Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, rumor has it that the government was paid off by the mob to allow casinos to reopen, copies of the constitution are used as toilet paper, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Independant Canada's national animal is the Ant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
