The Edelweiss of Captain von Trapp is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, unlimited-speed roads, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 27.983 billion Captain von Trappians 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 large, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Captain von Trappian economy, worth a remarkable 2,188 trillion whistles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,221 whistles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 254,031 per year while the poor average 18,160, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, the atmosphere in Captain von Trappian boardrooms is turning more gay, school football matches are usually five-a-side, and pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Captain von Trapp's national animal is the mountain goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Captain von Trapp is ranked 130,944^th in the world and 1^st in Malcolm X for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,814.91 Standard Monetary Units.
