The Somewhat expensive land of Capilateria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bill M Bill with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.767 billion Capilaterians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Trade. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Capilaterian economy, worth 874 trillion millions a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 183,241 millions, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,054,979 per year while the poor average 15,254, a ratio of 69.2 to 1.

Party leaders aid loyal supporters in opposition strongholds with a simple "Good luck" message, commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, and corruption is a game of two halves. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Capilateria's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Capiletic Monetary.

Capilateria is ranked 102,841^st in the world and 32^nd in Free Market Federation for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,769.19 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
