The Republic of Kanashia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Stitch with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, aversion to nipples, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.739 billion Kanashians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kansha City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanashian economy, worth a remarkable 1,208 trillion Kanashian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 179,329 Kanashian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Kanashia to be bombproof, and it's hunting season on loan sharks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanashia's national animal is the Stitch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Stitchism.

Kanashia is ranked 6,734^th in the world and 4^th in Anegana for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 494.7 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
