The Esoteric Space Atheocracy of Kophee23 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by the Mind with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 7.359 billion Ůųs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Citadel. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ůų economy, worth a remarkable 1,238 trillion ambars 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 impressive 168,333 ambars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, The Mind has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, and the military has had its funding stripped back as the nation seeks a smaller role in international politics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kophee23's national animal is the arugula, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of Athyys.

Kophee23 is ranked 7,754th in the world and 1st in OrangeJuice for Most Developed, scoring 92.14 on the Human Development Index.
