The Democratic States of Capynamo is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 328 million Capynamoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Capynamoan economy, worth 7.04 trillion capycoins 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 black market in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. 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 21,476 capycoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capynamo's national animal is the Great Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Capynamo is ranked 161,226^th in the world and 1,163^rd in The Communist Bloc for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 466.1 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
