The Federation of Canpoy is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its vat-grown people, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.188 billion Canpoyians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Canpoyian economy, worth 61.2 trillion Coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 51,556 Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done, a major religion has been named as Canpoy's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Canpoy in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canpoy's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Canpoy is ranked 88,721^st in the world and 350^th in 10000 Islands for Most Patriotic, with 16.36 flags saluted per person per day.
