The United Nations of Opiachus is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Secretary-General Lee with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.687 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 are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opiachus. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Opian economy, worth a remarkable 1,119 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 128,859 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 712,456 per year while the poor average 11,753, a ratio of 60.6 to 1.

The people have taken "Hail Secretary-General Lee" as an invitation to lob rocks, many of the poor live from cradle to grave without ever seeing sunlight, the internal market is thriving, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major 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 171,493rd in the world and 20th in Free Market Federation for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 124.6 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
