The Commonwealth of Opyra is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Michael with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9 billion Opyrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opyria. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Opyrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,123 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,823 Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, nude art is becoming wildly popular, animal control is going door-to-door releasing all pets back into the wild, and most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry. Crime is totally unknown. Opyra's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is State Atheism.
Opyra is ranked 178,907th in the world and 2,873rd in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,005.59 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
