The Edelweiss of Captain von Trapp is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 22.598 billion Captain von Trappians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Captain von Trappian economy, worth a remarkable 1,712 trillion whistles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,763 whistles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,845 per year while the poor average 17,506, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

A positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Captain von Trapp City, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Captain von Trapp's national animal is the mountain goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Captain von Trapp is ranked 10,257th in the world and 1st in Malcolm X for Most Stationary, with 2,324.80134545952 days.
