The State of Canaque is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 17.601 billion Canaqueans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.2%.

The very strong Canaquean economy, worth 851 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 48,402 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 175,794 per year while the poor average 9,487, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

Fat-shaming is now public policy, no one knows how to tie a reef knot, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-betale treacle machine, and prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Canaque's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Canaque is ranked 252,365^th in the world and 1^st in Kanak for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
