The Dominion of New Opolopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Judge Kiriakos Cosmelis with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.779 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 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Opolopian economy, worth 531 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 140,596 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

History textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, court verdicts are predictable to within a hundredth of a percentage point, and diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm. 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 10,311^th in the world and 39^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 123,342.76 Standard Monetary Units.
