The Republic of Capybara Army 12 is a small, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 36 million Capybara Army 12ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Capybara Army 12ian economy, worth 1.35 trillion aaas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 37,574 aaas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, the death penalty has been reintroduced, elections have been outlawed, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capybara Army 12's national animal is the aaa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Capybara Army 12 is ranked 134,664^th in the world and 12^th in Capybara HQ for Nicest Citizens, with 13 average smiles per day.
