Kopparland is a member state of Vittmark, located between Ådalen and Liden but also bordering Östervallen and Kulla. It was formed in 7610 as a result of a state reform carried out by Queen Tovemor as a fusion between Kram, the city state of Kopparbruk and Kletudderland. The predecessor states were formed as federal territories in 7564 as a buffer between Ådalen and Liden. The region always has had a population divided between the Iunsala and Månsta Stifts, as well as some more independent places like Sandsala and the corporate city of Kopparbruk.

The state literally forms the manufacturing heartland of Vittmark, being located on the important corridor between the capital Östervallen and harbour city Kletudde on the coast, through the industrial city of Kopparbruk towards the iron mines and former coal mines in Sörmark. The opening of the Blue Mountains Railways in 7570 provided a backbone for development, with towns at crossing railroads becoming modern industrial cities, like Sandsala, Byggebo and Chrillsbo.
