The Republic of North Kanuckistan is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Van Ueff III with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 21.893 billion North Kanuckies 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beaverton. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient North Kanuckistanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,536 trillion Kanucks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 115,853 Kanucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, North Kanuckies seem to be catching more chills, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, and all citizens must pass a 'multicultural sensitivity test' to be deemed fit for society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North Kanuckistan's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

North Kanuckistan is ranked 22,424^th in the world and 452^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 291.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
