The Delightful Republic of Canditia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Daniel Tandy with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.557 billion Canditians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caramel City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Canditian economy, worth 312 trillion Candies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 122,035 Candies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 475,582 per year while the poor average 21,384, a ratio of 22.2 to 1.

Lonely people are supposed to be cheered up by the many parties that they are never invited to, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, military spending is on the increase, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canditia's national animal is the Sylveon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Canditia is ranked 21,663^rd in the world and 9^th in Declansburg for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 5,964.01 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
