The PS2 Puppet of Copercia is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, avowedly heterosexual populace, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 16.033 billion Copercians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The income tax rate is 100%.
The Copercian economy, worth a remarkable 1,851 trillion Coperciums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an impressive 115,492 Coperciums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, warning signs caution Copercians where they may fall off 'the edge of the world', and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Copercia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is a major religion.
Copercia is ranked 7,064th in the world and 169th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 52.05 flags saluted per person per day.
