The Black Holy Dominion of The Colony of Caprica is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Helena Cain with a fair hand, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, unlimited-speed roads, and enforced nudity. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 6.507 billion Colonials 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, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caprica City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Colonial economy, worth a remarkable 3,726 trillion Gold Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 572,723 Gold Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers, eight-year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and comic books avoid plot inconsistencies by removing the plot. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Colony of Caprica's national animal is the Vampire Star Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Gods of Kobol.

The Colony of Caprica is ranked 320,513^th in the world and 30^th in United Earth Government for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 35.59 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
