The Free Land of Cupil is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 254 million Cupilium 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Spirituality, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.6%.

The strong Cupilian economy, worth 16.2 trillion Cupels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,702 Cupels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of sailors ride the good ship Leader day after day, government expenses are beyond compare, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, and major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cupil's national animal is the Blue Jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cupil is ranked 19,162^nd in the world and 466^th in The East Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 23.31 average smiles per day.
