The Confederacy of Canadasage is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 56 million Canadasageans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 18.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Canadasagean economy, worth 2.60 trillion BUCKS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,379 BUCKS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, army uniforms are replaced en masse to accommodate adult soldiers, and the legislature keeps promising "more study" of corruption allegations against the parliamentary whip system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Canadasage's national animal is the Wet Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Canadasage is ranked 184,778^th in the world and 88^th in Canada for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 28.01 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
