The Kingdom of Bacopa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Robert II with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 23.366 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 6,461 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 276,543 mesens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape, things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. 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 150th in the world and 3rd in Forest for Safest, scoring 219.08 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
