The Kapodistrian Dictatorship of Nafplio is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Ioannis Kapodistrias II with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 1.655 billion Nafpliots are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vouleftiko Ktirion. The average income tax rate is 33.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nafpliotic economy, worth 185 trillion Phoenixian Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,992 Phoenixian Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, a positive pregnancy test doubles as a visa, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Ioannis Kapodistrias II holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and schoolkids say that the air doesn't taste like wee-wee any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nafplio's national animal is the Two-Headed Eagle.

Nafplio is ranked 143,248^th in the world and 288^th in United Kingdom for Most Beautiful Environments, with 519.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
