The Federal Republic of Caprichay is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor Mumflr with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, national health service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.626 billion Caprichayians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravity Falls. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Caprichayian economy, worth a remarkable 7,640 trillion Golden Qurshnaughts a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 657,173 Golden Qurshnaughts, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,946,578 per year while the poor average 49,478, a ratio of 79.8 to 1.
Genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, straight-edges are forced to collect rain water to avoid getting high off the water supply, violent criminals are doomed to be hunted by a psychotic billionaire, and manufacturers are sued for almost anything not covered in their catalogue-sized manuals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caprichay's national animal is the Bat-Eared Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order of the Royal Skulldafnz.
Caprichay is ranked 848th in the world and 38th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 261.72 quips per hour.
