The Council-Republic of Opaloka is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Council of Soldier Delegates with an iron fist, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 8.683 billion Opalokans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eisneropolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The strong Opalokan economy, worth a remarkable 1,320 trillion Volksgelds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 152,071 Volksgelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"The Pride of the Opalokan Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opaloka's national animal is the Red Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxism-Eisnerism.

Opaloka is ranked 2,085^th in the world and 5^th in Chicken overlords for Most Cultured, scoring 260 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
