The Federal Republic of Caprichay is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Chancellor Mumflr with an even hand, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.237 billion Caprichayians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gravity Falls. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Caprichayian economy, worth a remarkable 7,214 trillion Golden Qurshnaughts a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 642,033 Golden Qurshnaughts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,158,237 per year while the poor average 74,531, a ratio of 42.4 to 1.

Children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes, the country is preparing for war, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Supreme Chancellor Mumflr on Caprichay's coulrophobia epidemic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caprichay's national animal is the Bat-Eared Fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Order of the Royal Skulldafnz.

Caprichay is ranked 910^th in the world and 26^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 133.63 flags saluted per person per day.
