The Republic of Contanan I is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working population of 798 million Contanan Iians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of No. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The thriving Contanan Iian economy, worth 60.1 trillion National Default Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 75,340 National Default Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 274,142 per year while the poor average 14,725, a ratio of 18.6 to 1.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, Contanan I has designated No as its capital city, soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, and customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Contanan I's national animal is the Dragon.

Contanan I is ranked 85,844^th in the world and 904^th in eta for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 35.94 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
