The Free Republic of Caperdia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Andrew Philips with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 3.697 billion Caperdians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virelia. The average income tax rate is 25.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Caperdian economy, worth 888 trillion Caperdian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 240,260 Caperdian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, most pop videos prominently feature the Caperdian flag, supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, and convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail. Crime is totally unknown. Caperdia's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Caperdia is ranked 174,446^th in the world and 101^st in Canada for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 25.47 Effective Tax Rate.
