The Republic of Kopofdin is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 965 million Kopofdinics are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gogoplech. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Kopofdiner economy, worth 24.2 trillion Stegs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 25,048 Stegs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has repealed elections for fear of 'mob rule', senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, families consisting of more than three people are forced to split up, and Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kopofdin's national animal is the Dimetrodon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kopofdin is ranked 252,542^nd in the world and 17^th in Tushto for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.83 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
