The Dominion of New Opolopia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Supreme Judge Kiriakos Cosmelis with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.854 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 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Opolopian economy, worth 548 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 142,281 drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned. 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 6,772^nd in the world and 29^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,565.91 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
