The Kingdom of Bacopa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by King Robert II with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 23.298 billion Bacopans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bomentre. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Bacopan economy, worth a remarkable 6,442 trillion mesens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 276,526 mesens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, mandatory daycare is provided by the government, sections of the police receive paramilitary training, and genetic research is temporarily tied up in government red tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bacopa's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Sacred Gift.
Bacopa is ranked 5,015th in the world and 45th in Forest for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,859.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
