The Only Goofy Goober of Capridam is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Astor Venus with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.961 billion Capridamians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Loamin. The average income tax rate is 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Capridamian economy, worth 487 trillion Caps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,062 Caps, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

People choose marriage partners by buying a lottery ticket, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, homophobia is off the menu, and it turns out that trees grow on Caps. 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 156,852nd in the world and 1,292nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 29.41 Effective Tax Rate.
