The Republic of Coprania is a huge, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 228 million Copranians 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 juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Copranian economy, worth 17.3 trillion National Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,949 National Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances, and court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coprania's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Coprania is ranked 259,096^th in the world and 656^th in Carcassonne for Most Patriotic, with 1.35 flags saluted per person per day.
