The Confused Country of Canock is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Waed with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 2.429 billion Canockians 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, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pilfan. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Canockian economy, worth 164 trillion Plaofs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is 67,888 Plaofs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many friends and relatives of Waed have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canock's national animal is the Bofra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Bahair.

Canock is ranked 22,533^rd in the world and 1,212^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 983.54 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
