The Republic of Copper II Sulfate is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, fear of technology, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.505 billion Copper II Sulfateans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 39.4%.

The very strong Copper II Sulfatean economy, worth 776 trillion francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,117 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The new one franc coin also makes a handy throwing-star, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, and lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Copper II Sulfate's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Copper II Sulfate is ranked 4,166^th in the world and 48^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Primitive, scoring 135.36 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
