The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 808 million Kanneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

Average income is 6,494 ~currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanne's national animal is the ~animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
