The United Nations of Opiachus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Secretary-General Lee with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.71 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 1,127 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 129,417 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 727,564 per year while the poor average 11,374, a ratio of 64.0 to 1.

The hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, rumour has it Secretary-General Lee needs a calculator to multiply ten by ten, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. 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 128,415th in the world and 14th in Free Market Federation for Most Corrupt Governments, with 6.11 kickbacks per hour.
