The Mars Colony of Opportunity Rover is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Johnathan Archer with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, feral children, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 11.367 billion Martians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia Planitia. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Martian economy, worth a remarkable 1,630 trillion data packets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 143,410 data packets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, hackers post hourly updates on international summits, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Opportunity Rover's national animal is the Martian, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secular Humanism.

Opportunity Rover is ranked 277,274^th in the world and 6,533^rd in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 6.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
