The Dual Republics of Kanokla is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alex De La Fontaine with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.661 billion Kanoklies 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Georgetown. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanoklan economy, worth a remarkable 1,605 trillion Ameris 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 185,382 Ameris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Alex De La Fontaine's throne, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, and the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances. Crime is totally unknown. Kanokla's national animal is the North American bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Universal Secularism.

Kanokla is ranked 284,676^th in the world and 1,369^th in Europe for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -15.18 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
