The Somewhat expensive land of Capilateria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bill M Bill with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, aversion to nipples, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.708 billion Capilaterians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Trade. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Capilaterian economy, worth 864 trillion millions a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 183,521 millions, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,051,163 per year while the poor average 15,460, a ratio of 68.0 to 1.

A shout of "stop in the name of the law!" is more of a request than an order, passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, citizens drive tank-like vehicles with mounted machine guns, and one man's trash is another company's tax break. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Capilateria's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Capiletic Monetary.

Capilateria is ranked 311,539th in the world and 32nd in Free Market Federation for Least Corrupt Governments, with 54.93 percentage of bribes refused.
