The Republic of Cansne is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Lord Simon Fendrin with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.049 billion Cansneans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Teris. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cansnean economy, worth 466 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,980 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cansne's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cansne is ranked 172,422^nd in the world and 649^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 488.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
