The Celtic Confederate of Canovium is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Glyndŵr with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, fear of technology, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.814 billion Canovas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maes-teg. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Canoviumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,860 trillion Credyds a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,173 Credyds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas, prisoners pray grey skies are gonna clear up, the government subsidises medicines of mass destruction, and most academic research has ground to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canovium's national animal is the Ddraig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristnogaeth.

Canovium is ranked 289,296th in the world and 1,446th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -24.35 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
