The Democratic Republic of Grande Capitalandia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 575 million Grande Capitalandians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 11.8%.

The strong Grande Capitalandian economy, worth 38.0 trillion Fabricianoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 66,032 Fabricianoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, and prison is a nightmare. Crime is totally unknown. Grande Capitalandia's national animal is the Aguia, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Grande Capitalandia is ranked 164,785^th in the world and 7,615^th in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 439.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
