The Chiefdom of Copper Cuprum is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chief Deg with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.352 billion Copperites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wa Deg. The average income tax rate is 65.0%.

The thriving Copperite economy, worth a remarkable 2,768 trillion copper coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,195 copper coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pranking is an art form, children are often punished for the sins of the fathers, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and the request to "give us our daily bread" can only be fulfilled six days out of seven. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copper Cuprum's national animal is the hallucigenia, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Copper Cuprum is ranked 242,537th in the world and 44th in Esportiva for Most Accessible, scoring 208.96 on the Keller-Reeve Index.
