The Dictatorship of Captivis is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Donald Tusk with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.404 billion Captivisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbem Mortis. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Captivisian economy, worth 425 trillion Captivian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is 78,623 Captivian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

One complaint of Captivis's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, children play a simplified version of hopscotch, foreign leaders who don't applaud Donald Tusk's speeches are regarded as enemies of Captivis, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Captivis's national animal is the Griffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tuskianity.

Captivis is ranked 293,148^th in the world and 2,062^nd in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 0.65 average smiles per day.
