The Republic of Kopern is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 366 million Kopernians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals prioritizes Administration, with Defense also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The strong Kopernian economy, worth 21.4 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 58,478 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 382,802 per year while the poor average 3,510, a ratio of 109 to 1.

The government takes agricultural advice from a wasp-themed superhero, the nation is in perpetual campaign mode, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kopern's national animal is the blue jay, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kopern is ranked 252,618^th in the world and 11,360^th in The North Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.53 bananas ingested per day.
