The Republic of Kanisa is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 235 million Kanisans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The Kanisan economy, worth 11.7 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,651 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Kanisan delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, and tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanisa's national animal is the Horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Kanisa is ranked 292,759^th in the world and 251^st in Eurth for Largest Populations, with 235 million capita.
