The Alpine Empire of Compakt Repsublic is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duce Raetio the IX with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.512 billion Compaktians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trier Novis. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Compaktian economy, worth a remarkable 2,934 trillion Kimaris a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 254,897 Kimaris, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Compakt Repsublic's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Devinism.

Compakt Repsublic is ranked 54,252^nd in the world and 36^th in Blue Ridge for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,574.66 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
