“You probably shouldn't trust us.”

The Goofy Goober of Capridam is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 3.113 billion Capridamians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loamin. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Capridamian economy, worth 169 trillion Caps a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,542 Caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scaffolding is built around scaffolding to give safe access, trying to toast marshmallows in an electric fireplace just isn't the same, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, and cyclists spend more time unlocking their bicycles than they do cycling. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Capridam's national animal is the Kiwi bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Capridam is ranked 194,298^th in the world and 1^st in The Free Land of Mionscapos for Most Primitive, scoring -71.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
