The Free Land of Canto Blight is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its hatred of cheese and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 1.874 billion Canto Blightians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Canto Blightian economy, worth 25.9 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 13,812 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canto Blight's national animal is the sheep.

Canto Blight is ranked 313,972^nd in the world and 1^st in Argus sr for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 8,591.22 Standard Monetary Units.
