The Commonwealth of Capti is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Thomas Zimmer with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.057 billion Captians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Captia. The average income tax rate is 46.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Captian economy, worth 33.0 trillion drusans 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 Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 31,233 drusans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, the word "sexagenarian" has taken on a whole new meaning, adultery has been made a capital offence, and Thomas Zimmer has just been declared ruler of Capti in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capti's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Capti is ranked 289,941^st in the world and 512^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 47.73 on the Human Development Index.
