Location: Kittens Sanctuary

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Ice floe of King Opus is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its intelligent population of 7.013 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports.

Crime is relatively low. King Opus's national animal is the penguin, and its currency is the sardine.

King Opus is ranked 7th in Kittens Sanctuary and 64,288th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
