“In myself, I trust”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Kopczynski is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jeremy with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, parental licensing program, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 37.043 billion Kopczynskians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kopczynski City. The average income tax rate is 89.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kopczynskian economy, worth a remarkable 6,451 trillion hitonas a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,163 hitonas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kopczynski's national animal is the alligator, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Kopczynski is ranked 2,491^st in the world and 90^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 262.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
