The Borderlands of Coplect is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 176 million Coplectians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 75.5%.

The sizeable but sluggish Coplectian economy, worth 5.06 trillion supremeleadercoins 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 slick, highly efficient, highly specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. 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 28,723 supremeleadercoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic, the nation's most popular sport is sabotaging foreigners' hopes and dreams, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Coplect's national animal is the worm, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Coplect is ranked 50,101^st in the world and 1^st in Scammington for Largest Governments, scoring 22.63 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
