The Kingdom of Bacopa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Robert II with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 28.398 billion Bacopans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bomentre. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Bacopan economy, worth a remarkable 7,918 trillion mesens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 278,833 mesens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, finders keepers is the law of the land, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bacopa's national animal is the goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of the Sacred Gift.

Bacopa is ranked 309,319th in the world and 253rd in Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -18.06 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
