The Federal Republic of Capellini is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 614 million Capellinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sagnarelli. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Capellinian economy, worth 9.84 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 16,025 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, childish pranks are no laughing matter, and scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capellini's national animal is the pasta, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Capellini is ranked 269,127^th in the world and 1^st in a region that serves zero purpose for Highest Poor Incomes, with 14,769.71 Standard Monetary Units.
