The Imperio of Opieland is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Opie Peter I with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 11.108 billion Opies are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imperio. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Opielandian economy, worth 482 trillion Opés a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,474 Opés, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, and the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying. Crime is well under control, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Opieland's national animal is the Chihuahua.

Opieland is ranked 180,784^th in the world and 41^st in Tarkin for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
