Nation/Capitalem

The Independent States of Capitalem is a massive, devout nation, ruled by President Trotter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.389 billion Capitalanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lakeshore. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail industries. Crime is crippling. Capitalem's national animal is the Thrush, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Christianity, and its currency is the Credit.
