The Matriarchy of Oplontis is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sancta Dea Magna Mater Oplontea IX with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.863 billion Oplontisians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oplontinopel. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Oplontisian economy, worth 590 trillion Oplonts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 206,247 Oplonts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Oplontinopel's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and right-wingers complain that too many people are suckling at the welfare teat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oplontis's national animal is the Oplontis Oyster, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Femininity.

Oplontis is ranked 19,896^th in the world and 1^st in Oplontia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 32,842.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
