The Eternal Misfortune of Copercia is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 21.265 billion Copercians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Copercian economy, worth a remarkable 4,473 trillion Coperciums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an amazing 210,352 Coperciums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, warning signs caution Copercians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary, and all transmission towers have been temporarily diverted in order to establish dialogue with a comet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Copercia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is a major religion.
Copercia is ranked 71,562nd in the world and 13th in Pencil Sharpeners Puppet Storage for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 232,094 Standard Monetary Units.
