The Socialist Commonwealth of Kanoshu is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ayaka Kassai with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.9 billion Kanoshuans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El'Kassar. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kanoshuan economy, worth a remarkable 1,173 trillion Keonas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 198,946 Keonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Ayaka Kassai's bedroom, Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, and the government pours millions of Keonas into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanoshu's national animal is the Panlong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suruitkuism.

Kanoshu is ranked 1,110^th in the world and 5^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Highest Food Quality, scoring 345.64 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
