The State of Oppenceld is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Party with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.813 billion Oppenceldians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oriatus-2. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oppenceldian economy, worth 63.3 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,898 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War is more of a science than an art, bilingual Oppenceldians are viewed with suspicion, migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty, and solar death ray construction will commence as soon as it rains Credits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oppenceld's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The state.

Oppenceld is ranked 250,306^th in the world and 13,931^st in Chicken overlords for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,743.48 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
