The Republic of Copy Ability Sword is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.322 billion Copy Ability Swordians 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, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.9%.
The all-consuming Copy Ability Swordian economy, worth 251 trillion stardusts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,979 stardusts, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,147 per year while the poor average 26,323, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.
Adultery has been made a capital offence, soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Copy Ability Swordian roads, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copy Ability Sword's national animal is the moonlark, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Copy Ability Sword is ranked 277,842nd in the world and 3rd in Copy Ability Sword for Most Secular, with 10.08 Atheism Rate.
