The Hermit Kingdom of King Canute is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Canute The Great with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.317 billion King Canuteans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Canute City. The average income tax rate is 42.6%.
The frighteningly efficient King Canutean economy, worth a remarkable 1,494 trillion Gold Guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 179,689 Gold Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.
In a desperate bid for cheap airfare King Canuteans can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. King Canute's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cnut the Great.
King Canute is ranked 28,544th in the world and 380th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,397.23932798848 days.
