The Federal Republic of Opimia is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 175 million Opimians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 51.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Opimian economy, worth 13.5 trillion Aureuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 77,222 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Opimia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Opimia is ranked 263,227^th in the world and 161^st in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -4.2 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
