The Matriarchy of Captain Video is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.361 billion Space Cadets are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The very strong Captain Videoan economy, worth 141 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,852 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Captain Video's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Captain Video is ranked 108,439^th in the world and 3^rd in Nations That do not Exist for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
