The Unrecognized state of Kanta Hame is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Kotonen with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 28.713 billion Kanta Hameans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Riihimaki. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Kanta Hamean economy, worth a remarkable 1,805 trillion KH Marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 62,894 KH Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, fighter pilots crash out of the air after failing to understand their foreign instruction manuals, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kanta Hame's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kanta Hame is ranked 154,697^th in the world and 187^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 418.37 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
