The Republic of Kaprein is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Alexander Richardson with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 5.528 billion Kapreinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaprein City. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kapreinian economy, worth 916 trillion Kapreinian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,877 Kapreinian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaprein's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kaprein's Government is Secular.

Kaprein is ranked 16,507^th in the world and 217^th in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 311.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
