The Dominion of New Opolopia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Judge Kiriakos Cosmelis with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.897 billion New Opolopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyrnagara. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Opolopian economy, worth 556 trillion drachmas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,903 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government web sites are springing up, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, public buses smell like litter boxes, and businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Opolopia's national animal is the serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

New Opolopia is ranked 7,622nd in the world and 32nd in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 92.46 Effective Tax Rate.
