The United Nations of Opiachus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Secretary-General Lee with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete absence of social welfare. 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 35.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Opian economy, worth a remarkable 1,109 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 127,795 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 701,930 per year while the poor average 11,825, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms, Secretary-General Lee is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, the government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, and pedal-powered removal vans are a popular Maxxmas gift for the children of separated parents. 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 7,863rd in the world and 5th in Free Market Federation for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,470.98 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
