The Dictatorship of Optvania is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Kim Jung Stalilone with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.116 billion Optvanians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Petrusciian. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.4%.

The very strong Optvanian economy, worth 753 trillion Optvanian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is 92,815 Optvanian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Minefields are being deployed along the border to discourage potential emigrants from trying to leave, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, contestants on Optvania's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Optvania's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Stalilonism.

Optvania is ranked 54,797th in the world and 136th in Dead Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,628.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
