The Tiki Bar of East Copa Cabana is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by El Presidente Sebastian Bach with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 11.234 billion East Copa Cabananians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Havana. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse East Copa Cabanan economy, worth a remarkable 1,018 trillion Piña Coladas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,704 Piña Coladas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, and televisions are often seized to pay for overdue television license fees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Copa Cabana's national animal is the Three-Toed Sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alchemy.

East Copa Cabana is ranked 55,542^nd in the world and 1,031^st in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,927.63 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
