The Most Serene Republic of Capamari is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.461 billion Capamarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Capamarian economy, worth 301 trillion Star Rods a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 122,585 Star Rods, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 491,075 per year while the poor average 20,532, a ratio of 23.9 to 1.

Art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capamari's national animal is the Fire Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Capamari is ranked 51,621st in the world and 1st in Capamari for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,819.39 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
