The Republic of Quaterthe Coopootopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Quade Cooper with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.436 billion Quaterthe Coopootopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of AAMI Park. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Quaterthe Coopootopian economy, worth a remarkable 3,961 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 256,620 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, military geniuses responsible for brilliant campaigns are drummed out because they have close same-sex friends and an interest in interior design, epidemiologists happily announce that the reported incidence of depression is close to zero percent, and if foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Quaterthe Coopootopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Quaterthe Coopootopia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Rugby Union.
Quaterthe Coopootopia is ranked 33,206th in the world and 227th in the West Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 40.98 flags saluted per person per day.
