The Queendom of Candy Darling is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its digital currency, avant-garde cinema, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed population of 3.014 billion Candy Darlingians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.0%.

The all-consuming Candy Darlingian economy, worth 323 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,082 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, and Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Candy Darling's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Candy Darling is ranked 115,328^th in the world and 350^th in junk for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,878.47 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
