The Socialist Republic of Coopera Social is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.98 billion Socialists 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 Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veridian. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Coopera Socialian economy, worth 985 trillion Denars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Retail. Average income is an impressive 197,895 Denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, third world countries are rich in "I Love Veridian" t-shirts, large sections of Coopera Social have been named national reserves to protect the native tribes living there, and sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coopera Social's national animal is the Harpy eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Coopera Social is ranked 1,610^th in the world and 81^st in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 98.18 on the Human Development Index.
