The PS2 Puppet of Copercia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 16.02 billion Copercians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The income tax rate is 100%.

The Copercian economy, worth a remarkable 1,846 trillion Coperciums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an impressive 115,284 Coperciums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and gangs of political bullies tell minority voices to "shut up because we say so". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Copercia's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is a major religion.

Copercia is ranked 273,886^th in the world and 12,664^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -51.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
