The Night Kingdom of Numero Capitan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29.676 billion Capitanoes are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yggdrassil. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Numero Capitanian economy, worth a remarkable 5,477 trillion Obsidianas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 184,564 Obsidianas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,665,343 per year while the poor average 2,492, a ratio of 668 to 1.

People are turning themselves into worm food, things are looking up for sentient toilet bowls, news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, and arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Numero Capitan's national animal is the Dark Oryx, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Numero Capitan is ranked 3,344th in the world and 2nd in 00000 A World Power for Fattest Citizens, with 34.64 Obesity Rate.
