The Federal Republic of Capellini is a very large, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 484 million Capellinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sagnarelli. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Capellinian economy, worth 7.91 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 16,332 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A new generation of space-obsessed youth are convinced there's nothing out there, cars are banned, if they thought anyone would listen the older generation would likely say that nobody listens to them any more, and Capellinians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capellini's national animal is the pasta, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Capellini is ranked 35,396^th in the world and 1^st in a region that serves zero purpose for Nicest Citizens, with 19.27 average smiles per day.
