The Confederacy of Capcopica is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 565 million Capcopicans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 24.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Capcopican economy, worth 24.6 trillion Ricans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,553 Ricans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capcopica's national animal is the Frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Capcopica is ranked 159,605th in the world and 599th in Europeia for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 67.89 on the Hayek Index.
