The Armed Republic of Kaporin is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 18 million Kaporinians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Public Transport, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 20.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The weak Kaporinian economy, worth 482 billion Shemnis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 26,780 Shemnis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The news is showing footage of Leader bullying an old man to the point of tears, ten-year-olds regularly found their own political parties, you're only as old as you feel, and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaporin's national animal is the Dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
Kaporin is ranked 209,167th in the world and 3,407th in the South Pacific for Most Secular, with 15.59 Atheism Rate.
