The Republic of Copy Ability Cutter is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its disturbing lack of elderly people, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.747 billion Copy Ability Cutterians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Copy Ability Cutterian economy, worth 170 trillion stardusts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,319 stardusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, a baby's first breath is also a baby's first felony, the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, and Leader is called 'Patches' at international summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copy Ability Cutter's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
