The Colony of CannedGoods is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by B Pafree with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.414 billion CannedGoodsians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aluminum. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient CannedGoodsian economy, worth 558 trillion corns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,981 corns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, a petition to make petitions important again has been deemed unimportant, the price of freedom is about half a million corns, and airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CannedGoods's national animal is the spam, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CannedGoods is ranked 268,112^th in the world and 4^th in Brasilistan for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.89 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
