Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United States of Kappacon is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, otherworldly petting zoo, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 306 million Kappaconians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gyeongbaek. The average income tax rate is 51.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Kappaconian economy, worth 26.9 trillion Won a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,954 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and concerned environmentalists wipe away their tears with tissues sourced from Tasmanian old-growth redwoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kappacon's national animal is the Alaska Pollock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kappacon is ranked 128,040^th in the world and 6,451^st in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.83 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
