The Republic of The Bank of Caprica is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 625 million Bank of Capricans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Industry, Defense, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Bank of Caprican economy, worth 86.1 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,723 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Bank of Caprican military unleashed its biological weapons, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, and glossy adverts featuring baby's first puff adorn mothers' magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. The Bank of Caprica's national animal is the Blue Stardust Phoenix, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

The Bank of Caprica is ranked 13,669^th in the world and 27^th in United Earth Government for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,783.05 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
