The Black Holy Dominion of The Colony of Caprica is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Helena Cain with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 4.837 billion Colonials hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caprica City. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Colonial economy, worth a remarkable 2,402 trillion Gold Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 496,624 Gold Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The secret ingredient is love (and MSG), pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Colony of Caprica's national animal is the Vampire Star Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gods of Kobol.

The Colony of Caprica is ranked 73,606th in the world and 6th in United Earth Government for Most Stationary, with 642.324415301 days.
