The Empire of Capaldel 2 is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 17.584 billion Capaldel 2ians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shiganshina. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Capaldel 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,451 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,420 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capaldel 2's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
