The Democratic United States of Kapral is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Governor Thaddeus Stalsworth with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.785 billion Kapralians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hartford-Belmont. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kapralian economy, worth a remarkable 4,614 trillion Kapralian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 525,281 Kapralian dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,858,244 per year while the poor average 5,517, a ratio of 880 to 1.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, people are often woken up by rubbish music, and Kapral has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kapral's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kapralian Evangelical Church.

Kapral is ranked 311,445^th in the world and 21^st in Calme Ybovien for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -39.5 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
