The Constitutional Monarchy of Opis is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Carter II with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, smutty television, and triple-decker prams. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.376 billion Opisians 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 juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valencia. The average income tax rate is 19.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Opisian economy, worth 315 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 132,791 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

King Carter II's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, and "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opis's national animal is the Golden Eagle and its national religion is Faith of the Seven and Trozen.

Opis is ranked 76,956^th in the world and 2,073^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,778.19 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
