The Constitutional Monarchy of Opis is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Carter II with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 2.468 billion Opisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valencia. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Opisian economy, worth 327 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,690 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opis's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Faith of the Seven and Trozen.

Opis is ranked 22,368^th in the world and 887^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 263.07 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
