The Copper Coin of Copernecium is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Copernicus with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 23.012 billion Coperneciumians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Copernicus. The average income tax rate is 91.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Coperneciumian economy, worth a remarkable 5,130 trillion Sieverts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 222,967 Sieverts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hundreds of teenagers die every year at the Coperneciumian Hungry Games, parents live in fear of governmental 'child protection' squads, Coperneciumians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and Moby Dick can only be sold by pornographers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copernecium's national animal is the Virulent Vampire, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Methodism.

Copernecium is ranked 5,581st in the world and 111th in the South Pacific for Most Stationary, with 3,064.66470528 days.
