The United Republic of Cappedore is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Austin Merrill with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 13.98 billion Cappedorites have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Absolution. The average income tax rate is 89.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Cappedorite economy, worth a remarkable 1,284 trillion staters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,851 staters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the government is spending billions of taxpayer staters to support "struggling" industries, and candidates make campaign speeches at the funerals of former rivals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cappedore's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Cappedore is ranked 124,416th in the world and 9th in Al Maekruna for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,555.3 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
