The Most Pristine Republic of Canopytown is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.879 billion Canopitonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Understory City. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Canopitonese economy, worth a remarkable 1,565 trillion Leaves a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,942 Leaves, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wealthiest parts of the country receive the most government spending, Canopitonese tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, there's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", and the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong. Crime is totally unknown. Canopytown's national animal is the Canopynian Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Canopytown is ranked 2,115^th in the world and 89^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 259 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
