The Republic of Caputo Republic is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 584 million Caputo Republicians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Caputo Republician economy, worth 24.3 trillion Cashes 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 Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 41,531 Cashes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom, birth rates have hit an all-time low, legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, and weird or unusual crimes merit cruel and unusual punishments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caputo Republic's national animal is the Tiger.

Caputo Republic is ranked 171,570^th in the world and 7,258^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 500.36 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
