The State of Coppermine is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 33.912 billion Coppermineans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, with Welfare, Spirituality, and Education also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The thriving Copperminean economy, worth a remarkable 1,647 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 48,586 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 251,969 per year while the poor average 5,076, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, graffiti graces every city's streets, and teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Coppermine's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Coppermine is ranked 287,431st in the world and 7th in Kenya for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.97 law-abiding acts per hour.
