The Emirate of Opune is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.265 billion Opuneans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opune City. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Opunean economy, worth 187 trillion dinars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Tourism. Average income is 82,921 dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and contestants on Opune's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opune's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Opune is ranked 12,529th in the world and 14th in Africa for Safest, scoring 118.4 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
