The Federal Dominion of Canarda is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mark Carney with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.909 billion Canardians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ottawa. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Canardian economy, worth 772 trillion Canardian Dollars a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 59,793 Canardian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Both criminals and civilians are DOA, citizens buy season tickets on a 20-year payment plan, tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canarda's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is UnOrthodox Christianity.

Canarda is ranked 88,907^th in the world and 19^th in Zombie Research Institute for Most Developed, scoring 64.67 on the Human Development Index.
