The Republic of Kaprein is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Alexander Richardson with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.753 billion Kapreinians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaprein City. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Kapreinian economy, worth 272 trillion Kapreinian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 155,409 Kapreinian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

People believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Kapreinians like vultures, and a degree in President Alexander Richardson Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kaprein's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Kaprein's Government is Secular.

Kaprein is ranked 8,776^th in the world and 152^nd in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 12,718.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
