The Spooky Industrial Republic of Cappedore is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Austin Merrill with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.464 billion Cappedorites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Absolution. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cappedorite economy, worth 737 trillion Cappedorite Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 87,184 Cappedorite Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, people unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls, and conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors. 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 bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cappedore is ranked 220,200^th in the world and 8,294^th in The East Pacific for Largest Agricultural Sector, scoring -8.92 on the Mu-Bah-Daggs Productivity Index.
