The Republic of Qaanpaluk is a titanic, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18.343 billion Qaanpalukians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and International Aid are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 8.2%.

The strong Qaanpalukian economy, worth a remarkable 1,044 trillion Minoan tala a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 56,959 Minoan tala, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pet owners make sure their dogs wear diapers, Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, Leader has just been declared ruler of Qaanpaluk in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Qaanpaluk's national animal is the little owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Qaanpaluk is ranked 142,250^th in the world and 1^st in Greenland for Highest Average Incomes, with 56,959.9 Standard Monetary Units.
