The Empire of Al Capone is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.192 billion Al Caponeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leavenworth Kansas. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Al Caponean economy, worth a remarkable 1,078 trillion guns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,494 guns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, the jackhammer is considered a tool of artistic criticism, Max Barry is this year's Miss Al Capone, and adult stores are all sold out of whips. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Al Capone's national animal is the attorney, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Al Capone is ranked 11,756^th in the world and 1^st in Leavenworth Kansas for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,893.79 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
