The Celtic Confederate of Canovium is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Glyndŵr with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and public floggings. The compassionate, humorless population of 12.741 billion Canovas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maes-teg. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Canoviumian economy, worth a remarkable 1,875 trillion Credyds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 147,216 Credyds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and parents tell their children 'what a lovely mistake you turned out to be'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Canovium's national animal is the Ddraig, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristnogaeth.

Canovium is ranked 24,876^th in the world and 309^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.04 law-abiding acts per hour.
