The Kingdom of Bacopa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Robert II with an even hand, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 28.361 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 7,907 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 278,833 mesens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, finders keepers is the law of the land, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and organ donation is compulsory. 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 75,879^th in the world and 48^th in Forest for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,727.87 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
