The Justiciar of Copodia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 19.285 billion Copodians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Copodia City. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Copodian economy, worth 558 trillion covoes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 28,966 covoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, a major religion has been named as Copodia's national religion, and Copodia has designated Copodia City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copodia's national animal is the yak, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is a major religion.

Copodia is ranked 82,584^th in the world and 6^th in Confederation of Outlying Nations for Most Beautiful Environments, with 587.26 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
