The Utility Truck of Opel Blitz is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.487 billion Opel Blitzians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Opel Blitzian economy, worth 117 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 78,743 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,095 per year while the poor average 20,893, a ratio of 11.2 to 1.

The government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, posing for pictures is an integral part of military training, posters on 'Opel Blitzian Values' advise against being proud of Opel Blitz, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Opel Blitz's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Opel Blitz is ranked 11,334^th in the world and 17^th in Krupp Industriekomplex for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,712.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
