The Republic of Hamew Captopia is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.404 billion Hamew Captopians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Hamew Captopian economy, worth 216 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 154,538 lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,389,119 per year while the poor average 2,159, a ratio of 643 to 1.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, the new classical revitalization of Hamew Captopia City is expected to be completed sometime in the next century, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Hamew Captopia's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hamew Captopia is ranked 307,690^th in the world and 326^th in The Khamen Union for Highest Poor Incomes, with 2,159.39 Standard Monetary Units.
