The People's Federation of Canadian Democratic Union is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by First Secretary Jakob Ulrich with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.909 billion Canadians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vancouver. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Canadian economy, worth 323 trillion Federal Social Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 111,100 Federal Social Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canadian Democratic Union's national animal is the Proletariat Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State-Secularism.

Canadian Democratic Union is ranked 21,716^th in the world and 384^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 88.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
