The Eternal Misfortune of Copercia is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, enforced nudity, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 21.853 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 4,751 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 217,414 Coperciums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's rare to find an unchewed pencil, bands of adventurers rove the countryside searching for monsters, singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, and posters remind people that 'Hoarding Mushrooms Is Theft'. 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 346,348th in the world and 36th in Pencil Sharpeners Puppet Storage for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -40.21 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
