The United Republic of Cappedore is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Cleveland Durand with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate population of 19.38 billion Cappedorites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Absolution. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cappedorite economy, worth a remarkable 2,040 trillion staters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 105,267 staters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cappedore's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cappedore is ranked 107,166^th in the world and 1,335^th in the West Pacific for Most Politically Free, scoring 64.86 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
