“That's what you think.”

The Republic of Copperplate is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-working population of 9.677 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government devotes most of its attentions to Social Welfare, with areas such as Law & Order and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14%. A small private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Copperplate's national animal is the mink, and its currency is the rivet.

Copperplate is ranked 32nd in the region and 31,691st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
