The Federal Republic of The Opossum is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 4.882 billion Opossums are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant successful economy, worth 56.2 trillion tracks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 11,515 tracks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion, and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Opossum's national animal is the Opossum, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
The Opossum is ranked 202,193rd in the world and 5,381st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 44.6908741756 days.
