The Kingdom of Ophir II is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 3.957 billion Ophirians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maharlika. The average income tax rate is 80.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ophir IIian economy, worth 649 trillion Ophir Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 164,182 Ophir Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, the nation has nearly as many history museums as Ophirians, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ophir II's national animal is the Ophir Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Ophir II is ranked 18,506th in the world and 1,150th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,360.88 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
