The Theocracy of Can-8 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Jason North with an iron fist, and renowned for its avant-garde cinema, ban on automobiles, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 2.816 billion Can-8ians, 2.68 billion of whom are zombies, are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Environment. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.5%.

The strong Can-8ian economy, worth 224 trillion Bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 57,439 Bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, the number of deaths due to poor fungus identification is mushrooming, the government finds the idea of having an army to be rather distasteful, and the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force. Can-8's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Can-8 is ranked 55,677^th in the world and 132^nd in Forest for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 640.9 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
