The Democratic United States of Kapral is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by President Joseph Holcomb with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.213 billion Kapralians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hartford-Belmont. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 60.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kapralian economy, worth a remarkable 2,077 trillion Kapralian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 398,541 Kapralian dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,660,851 per year while the poor average 4,514, a ratio of 810 to 1.

Many believe that the only good Eagle is a dead Eagle, it's best not to ask what goes into Hartford-Belmont Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, and you can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kapral's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kapralian Evangelical Church.

Kapral is ranked 42,479th in the world and 23rd in Calme Ybovien for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,229.56 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
