The Dominion of The Captain is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 45.188 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 29,768 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 658,777 TDU Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,171,048 per year while the poor average 5,918, a ratio of 1,042 to 1.

War criminals are given full state funerals, mandatory patriotic themes make even the newest movies feel like remakes, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, and tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport. 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 138,407th in the world and 49th in Wysteria for Most Stationary, with 219.49019285952 days.
