The Delightful Republic of Canditia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Chloe Smith with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.211 billion Canditians 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, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caramel City. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The all-consuming Canditian economy, worth 117 trillion Candies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,258 Candies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, the national anthem is a rather effective sleeping aid, ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, and political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canditia's national animal is the Sylveon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Canditia is ranked 54,801^st in the world and 102^nd in The Union of Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
