The People's Republic of The CN is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Clix B Harrods with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 3.606 billion CNers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greater Bearville. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse CN economy, worth 422 trillion Uni-Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,154 Uni-Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, residents are readily ratting out rats in restaurants, the government thinks CNers can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, and studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The CN's national animal is the Golden Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

The CN is ranked 38,117^th in the world and 48^th in Karma for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 218.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
