The United States of Kappacon is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 15.186 billion Kappaconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirinae. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kappaconian economy, worth a remarkable 4,981 trillion Won a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 328,002 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kappacon's national animal is the Siberian Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Kappacon is ranked 331,972^nd in the world and 4,802^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -48.56 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
