The Republic of Copiague is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 538 million Copiagueans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Copiaguean economy, worth 30.8 trillion McNuggets a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 57,181 McNuggets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, the nation's orphanages and maternity wards have been nicknamed 'the Killbot Factories', and Copiague has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copiague's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Copiague is ranked 40,619^th in the world and 91^st in The Communist Bloc for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,749.77 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
