The United Nations of Opiachus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Secretary-General Lee with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.692 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 aren't funded at all. 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 1,120 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 128,956 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 712,988 per year while the poor average 11,762, a ratio of 60.6 to 1.
Hospitals in Opiachus are too busy serving the needs of Free Market Federation to see Opians, grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, and citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process. 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 285,494th in the world and 22nd in Free Market Federation for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4.11 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
