The Peoples Commune of Kapfadstandt is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Aimo Ollila with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.706 billion Kappens 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 enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaynagon. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kapfadstandtian economy, worth 62.3 trillion Kotirunas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 36,516 Kotirunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commemoration of the Great Distant Worlds War costs almost as much as the war itself, the act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Kapfadstandtian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kapfadstandt's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Abodeism.

Kapfadstandt is ranked 74,809^th in the world and 7^th in Distant Worlds for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
