The Imperial Empire of Oppalli is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King McGregor I with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 3.074 billion Oppallians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ihaj. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Oppallian economy, worth 541 trillion Roylands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,228 Roylands, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 516,337 per year while the poor average 47,442, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

A niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, and food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oppalli's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Oppalli is ranked 146,525^th in the world and 5,919^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 3.07 billion capita.
