The Federal Republic of Opimia is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 93 million Opimians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 63.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Opimian economy, worth 3.13 trillion Aureuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 33,665 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, time flies when you're not having fun, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and most ambassadors from Opimia retire only a few years after being appointed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opimia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Opimia is ranked 65,193^rd in the world and 64^th in The Kodiak Republic for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 63.08 Effective Tax Rate.
