The Socialist Commonwealth of Kanoshu is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Ayaka Kassai with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, rampant corporate plagiarism, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.867 billion Kanoshuans 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, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El'Kassar. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanoshuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,161 trillion Keonas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 198,037 Keonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and people make a career out of medical voyeurism. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanoshu's national animal is the Panlong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suruitkuism.

Kanoshu is ranked 1,419^th in the world and 8^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 23,595.9 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
