The Republic of Coupar Angus is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 469 million Coupar Angusians 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 Administration, Education, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 34.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Coupar Angusian economy, worth 16.2 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,566 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, Leader claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', and pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coupar Angus's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Coupar Angus is ranked 275,589th in the world and 13,565th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.56 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
