The Armed Republic of Lupus Canis is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.033 billion Canisians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lobos City. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Lupus Canisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,526 trillion Canisian Dollars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,780 Canisian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Lupus Canis's national animal is the Pacific Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lupus Canis is ranked 51,719^th in the world and 128^th in Forest for Most Developed, scoring 77.18 on the Human Development Index.
