The Holy Empire of Oputopia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 948 million Oputopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Welfare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oputoe. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.

The very strong Oputopian economy, worth 70.7 trillion Opsds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 74,607 Opsds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, a massive campaign is underway to ensure the race of Oputopia remains pure, rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay, and Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Oputopia's national animal is the Montiger.

Oputopia is ranked 38,808^th in the world and 96^th in Aesica for Nicest Citizens, with 18.66 average smiles per day.
