The Grand Bazaar of Capitalist Paradise is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 19.437 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals concentrates mainly on Education, although Law & Order and Defence are secondary priorities. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, and the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capitalist Paradise's national animal is the donkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the simoleon.

Capitalist Paradise is ranked 4,120th in the West Pacific and 97,447th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
