“Long Live the Hapsburg Dynasty!”

The Republic of Kopanhaven is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.055 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The enormous, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21%. A substantial private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

Citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements, punitive tariffs protect local industry, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military spending recently hit a new high. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kopanhaven's national animal is the Black Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mykolan Reich Mark.

Kopanhaven is ranked 2123rd in the region and 30,795th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
