The Free Land of Kopeshi is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 916 million Ko Heshians 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 large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Kopeshian economy, worth 76.8 trillion Septums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 83,863 Septums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares, and no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kopeshi's national animal is the Kopeshi Giant Ape Man, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kopeshi is ranked 253,050^th in the world and 334^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Populations, with 916 million capita.
