The Dominion of The Captain is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.288 billion Captainians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The minute, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Captain City. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Captainian economy, worth an astonishing 29,849 trillion TDU Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is a breathtaking 659,104 TDU Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,174,114 per year while the poor average 5,921, a ratio of 1,042 to 1.
Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Captainian military unleashed its biological weapons, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, and search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. The Captain's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.
The Captain is ranked 9,668th in the world and 11th in Wysteria for Lowest Crime Rates, with 101.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
