The Federal Republic of Kannae is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lazar Kostovic with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.802 billion Kannaeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prijkovka. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kannaean economy, worth 266 trillion Denars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,644 Denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's mettle is about to be tested, the media have begun calling the government treasury "Prime Minister Lazar Kostovic's stash", kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kannae's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Kannean Paganism.

Kannae is ranked 36,943^rd in the world and 47^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 24,829.95 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
