The Africans of Kapiri Mposhi is a colossal, economically powerful nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.738 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Commerce, and Education. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and major cities are suffering under water rationing. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kapiri Mposhi's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the kwacha.

Kapiri Mposhi is ranked 7th in Discordia and 13,428th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
