The Kingdom of Bacopa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Robert II with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 24.855 billion Bacopans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bomentre. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Bacopan economy, worth a remarkable 6,893 trillion mesens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 277,348 mesens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, it is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bacopa's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Sacred Gift.
Bacopa is ranked 1,630th in the world and 29th in Forest for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 22,049.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
