The People's Republic of Kaplea is a massive, safe nation, ruled by General Secretary Kaedus with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.662 billion Kapleans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaedburg. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kaplean economy, worth 329 trillion Kalvs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 123,865 Kalvs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting the best Kaplean restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaplea's national animal is the Catboy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kaplea is ranked 12,946^th in the world and 1^st in Grand Union of Socialist Republics for Highest Poor Incomes, with 111,746.25 Standard Monetary Units.
