The Most Serene Republic of Capamari is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.614 billion Capamarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Capamarian economy, worth 343 trillion Star Rods 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. 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 an impressive 131,126 Star Rods, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 437,889 per year while the poor average 29,211, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

Sick Capamarians are hair today and gone tomorrow, Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, and TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capamari's national animal is the Fire Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Capamari is ranked 107,775^th in the world and 1^st in Capamari for Highest Poor Incomes, with 29,211.8 Standard Monetary Units.
