The Council-Republic of Opaloka is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by The Council of Soldier Delegates with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 8.805 billion Opalokans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eisneropolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The very strong Opalokan economy, worth a remarkable 1,394 trillion Volksgelds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 158,423 Volksgelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign planes and migratory birds are shot down as spies, soporific speeches from The Council of Soldier Delegates have left the opposition utterly knocked out, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opaloka's national animal is the Red Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Marxism-Eisnerism.

Opaloka is ranked 331,925^th in the world and 18,796^th in Chicken overlords for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
