The Federal Republic of Kantamaria is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chief Executive Joe with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.449 billion Kantamarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurellapest. The average income tax rate is 67.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kantamarian economy, worth 110 trillion Kantamarian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,144 Kantamarian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped politicians frequently host bake sales to fund their campaigns, being Chief Executive Joe has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, lending money has become a major liability, and Amnesty Interregional has condemned Kantamaria for ignoring crimes against humanity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kantamaria's national animal is the Mockingbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Phil Swiftanism.

Kantamaria is ranked 39,681^st in the world and 2,214^th in the South Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 93.96 percentage of bribes refused.
