The frighteningly efficient Copercian economy, worth a remarkable 4,499 trillion Coperciums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Basket Weaving industry. Average income is an amazing 210,864 Coperciums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
