The Evening Dews and Damps of CapeBI-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 21.093 billion CapeBI-1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.2%.

The powerhouse CapeBI-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,441 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 68,339 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, and most believe it doesn't hurt to embrace free trade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CapeBI-1's national animal is the death's-head moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CapeBI-1 is ranked 139,473rd in the world and 1st in Cape Breton Island for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
