The Kingdom of Bacopa is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Robert II with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, unlimited-speed roads, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 28.077 billion Bacopans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, 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 7,826 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 278,748 mesens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking, King Robert II's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy. 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 300,830th in the world and 246th in Forest for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -13.74 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
