The Empire of Northcanadia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Shail Patel with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 21.515 billion Northcanadians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of megatropalas. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Northcanadian economy, worth a remarkable 8,473 trillion Monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 393,845 Monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

International commentators accuse the nation of aggressive cultural imperialism, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, the government is well known for declaring war on other countries for suspected slights, and Shail Patel reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime is totally unknown. Northcanadia's national animal is the Koala Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Northcanadia is ranked 942^nd in the world and 41^st in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,004.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
