The People's Republic of Kan Nesses is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Big Nick with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 7.474 billion Kan Nessesians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kan Nessesian economy, worth 692 trillion shekels 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 led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 92,611 shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody is forced to join the armed forces, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Kan Nesses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kan Nesses's national animal is the worm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kan Nesses is ranked 286,281^st in the world and 1,279^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -15.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
