The United Republic of Cappedore is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Cleveland Durand with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The compassionate population of 19.098 billion Cappedorites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Absolution. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cappedorite economy, worth a remarkable 2,004 trillion staters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 104,958 staters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party officials write speeches condemning capitalism while sunbathing at partitioned beaches, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, optometrists will see citizens in seconds but health inspectors won't be sighted for years, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cappedore's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cappedore is ranked 23,066^th in the world and 376^th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 84 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
