Coopsbombia

The Empire of Coopsbombia is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.203 billion Coopsbombians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coopsbombian economy, worth 578 trillion plasmoids a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 180,696 plasmoids, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, Coopsbombian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Leader, and worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coopsbombia's national animal is the golden sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Coopsbombia is ranked 106,525th in the world and 169th in The League for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,560.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
