The Free Land of Gary Cooper is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.482 billion Gary Cooperians 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.4%.

The strong Gary Cooperian economy, worth 453 trillion Fast Cars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 60,558 Fast Cars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,961 per year while the poor average 13,821, a ratio of 14.4 to 1.

'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, the government is under the thumb of countless special interests, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gary Cooper's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gary Cooper is ranked 251,743^rd in the world and 22^nd in Aftoi oi omorfoi anthropoi for Most Beautiful Environments, with 219.94 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
