The Commonwealth of New Optus is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Vjon Holfman with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, complete lack of prisons, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.344 billion Optusians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ryre. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Optusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,827 trillion Optusian Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 136,967 Optusian Credits, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 766,147 per year while the poor average 12,174, a ratio of 62.9 to 1.

New urban roads are threatening city parks, hotels often double as quarantine zones, people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis, and many believe that President Vjon Holfman's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Optus's national animal is the Crimson Crane, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Indigosim.

New Optus is ranked 261,775^th in the world and 108^th in Aceon for Highest Poor Incomes, with 12,174.89 Standard Monetary Units.
