The Commonwealth of Canogally is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Betski with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7.357 billion Canogallians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donnell City. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Canogallian economy, worth a remarkable 1,205 trillion Carts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 163,826 Carts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, Betski's reputation is hard as nails, and lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canogally's national animal is the Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Canogally is ranked 37,137^th in the world and 48^th in Chicken overlords for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
