The Holy Empire of Spiritus Opulentia is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 886 million Spiritus Opulentians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctus Subterra. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spiritus Opulentian economy, worth 107 trillion Prosperas a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,385 Prosperas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, euthanasia is legal, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, and carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spiritus Opulentia's national animal is the Puffin.

Spiritus Opulentia is ranked 30,074^th in the world and 30^th in Lone Wolves United for Most Corrupt Governments, with 72.13 kickbacks per hour.
