The Clampdown of Kaputer is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Some Unlucky Guy with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.476 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, police officers have nearly cracked a major underage astronomy syndicate, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and Tesco was recently named as the new national treasurer. Crime is moderate. Kaputer's national animal is the Pug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Shouldn't have answered that issue, and its currency is the Springsteen.

Kaputer is ranked 516th in Capitalist Paradise and 126,267th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring -6 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
