The Powerhouse of Capetola XII is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sansha with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 24.857 billion Capetolians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capetola City. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Capetolian economy, worth a remarkable 4,728 trillion Westers a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,239 Westers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomats are always trying to convince other nations to adopt l33t speak, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, the government prides itself on being smug and condescending to idiots, and aeroplane cockpits no longer have altimeters or airspeed indicators. Crime is totally unknown. Capetola XII's national animal is the Deathcharger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hedonism.

Capetola XII is ranked 13,988^th in the world and 1^st in Region Inc for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,761.36 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
