The Republic of 029 Cuprum is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The quiet, industrious population of 946 million 029 Cuprumians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 45.9%.

The 029 Cuprumian economy, worth 41.3 trillion lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,634 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, there's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, many working fathers have never seen their children, and police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 029 Cuprum's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

029 Cuprum is ranked 71,044^th in the world and 7^th in BTM Puppet Storage for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,728.38 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
