The Democratic States of Cape Kennedy is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Joseph P Kennedy Sr with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, devout population of 28.772 billion Cape Kennedyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The enormous but inefficient Cape Kennedyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 trillion chowders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 42,029 chowders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, an underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, a government program is underway to revitalize Cape Kennedy's beaches, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cape Kennedy's national animal is the clam, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cape Kennedy is ranked 125,740^th in the world and 9^th in Massachusetts for Most Primitive, scoring -38.73 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
