The Standard Model of Cantors Paradise is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aleph Omega with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.253 billion Cantorians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital V. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cantorian economy, worth a remarkable 1,339 trillion omegabucks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 162,265 omegabucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress, and feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cantors Paradise's national animal is the cardinal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Platonism.

Cantors Paradise is ranked 281,099th in the world and 58th in Gypsy Lands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.64 kickbacks per hour.
