The People's Republic of Qanik is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 435 million Qanikiats are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iqaluit. The average income tax rate is 67.5%.

The strong Qanikian economy, worth 30.3 trillion Qanik Snags a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 69,718 Qanik Snags, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft, the art of conversation has been rediscovered, and voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Qanik's national animal is the Snow Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Qanik is ranked 102,745^th in the world and 409^th in the Outback for Highest Average Incomes, with 69,718.94 Standard Monetary Units.
