The United States of Kappacon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joseph Hwang with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.416 billion Kappaconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gyeongbaek. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kappaconian economy, worth 481 trillion Won a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,994 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, and over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kappacon's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity and Buddhism.

Kappacon is ranked 244,641^st in the world and 9,373^rd in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.11 Weapons Per Person.
