The United States of Kappacon is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Hwang-Cheon with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.171 billion Kappaconians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gyeongbaek. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kappaconian economy, worth 127 trillion Won a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,820 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Hwang-Cheon holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and journalists often nap through tedious police press briefings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kappacon's national animal is the Alaska Pollock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kappacon is ranked 9,022^nd in the world and 91^st in The North Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 91.86 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
