The United States of Kappacon is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Oh Dae-su with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 9.971 billion Koreans 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 Hanyang. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Korean economy, worth a remarkable 2,826 trillion Won a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 283,501 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, televangelists flaunt their expensive cars when they attend charity events, feuilletons can only be deciphered with a Galliennais dictionary, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. 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 342^nd in the world and 17^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 216.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
