The Protectorate of Captain Beyond is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.731 billion Captain Beyondians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 19.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Captain Beyondian economy, worth 140 trillion Hasvas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,597 Hasvas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, Captain Beyond has designated Captain Beyond City as its capital city, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, and the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Captain Beyond's national animal is the Peacock, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Captain Beyond is ranked 209,069^th in the world and 8^th in Croaso for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
