Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United Nations of Opiachus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Secretary-General Lee with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.681 billion Opians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Industry, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opiachus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Opian economy, worth a remarkable 1,108 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 127,710 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 701,465 per year while the poor average 11,818, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, Opians suffer not the eggplant emoji to live, and there's a bright dawn ahead for Opiachus. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Opiachus's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Opiachus is ranked 7,888^th in the world and 5^th in Free Market Federation for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,456.61 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
