Cooper Minitz found himself out of the job. Not knowing what to do, he discovers the concept of nation building, where the aspects of a nation, such as roads, courthouses, etc. are built in order to create a stable society. He, and his co-worker, Beck, set out to make their country, the United States, work for everyone. With nation building as the foundational idea, Cooper comes up with People's Capitalism, the concept that the free market should be maintained but also made to allow as many people to participate as possible. Using this ideology, Cooper works to transform the United States.
