The Republic of Captain Magma is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Chief with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 6.597 billion Captain Magmas 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 Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikini Bottom. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Captain Magma economy, worth 255 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,735 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, the atmosphere in Captain Magma boardrooms is turning more gay, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Captain Magma's national animal is the squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Justice.

Captain Magma is ranked 127,227^th in the world and 1^st in Sea for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,326.37 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
