The Republic of CopperBanks is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.025 billion CopperBanksians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The thriving CopperBanksian economy, worth 323 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 80,474 pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 284,854 per year while the poor average 16,415, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. CopperBanks's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CopperBanks is ranked 209,890^th in the world and 6,917^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 8.98 average smiles per day.
