The Republic of Quaterthe Coopootopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Quade Cooper with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.182 billion Quaterthe Coopootopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AAMI Park. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Quaterthe Coopootopian economy, worth a remarkable 3,672 trillion marks 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 black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 258,964 marks, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.
The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, coconut-half banging former royals skip around the countryside seeking gullible peasants to rule, at the edge of the final frontier space's biggest missile platform is about to unfold, and Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quaterthe Coopootopia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Rugby Union.
Quaterthe Coopootopia is ranked 1,260th in the world and 19th in the West Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 17,703.12 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
