The Oppressed Peoples of Ophanim 55 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.221 billion Ophanim 55ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 78.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Ophanim 55ian economy, worth 406 trillion dong a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,348 dong, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,931 per year while the poor average 28,147, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.
Cosy TV sitcom "AI Love Lucy" showcases harmonious human-robot cohabitation, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, the new Really Big Telescope has been praised for presenting pictures of bright dots in unprecedented detail, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ophanim 55's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
Ophanim 55 is ranked 190,758th in the world and 791st in Eye for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,094.15 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
