The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.826 billion Opodeldokians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

| - The Theocracy of Opodeldok is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Mitchell with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, aversion to nipples, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.826 billion Opodeldokians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed. The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Law & Order, although Defense, Welfare, and Industry are also considered important, while Healthcare and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Opodeldok City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.8%. The frighteningly efficient Opodeldokian economy, worth a remarkable 4,288 trillion carbon credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 166,039 carbon credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 566,736 per year while the poor average 35,796, a ratio of 15.8 to 1. Politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, computers are widely considered to be the "devil magic of heathens", and Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Opodeldok's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.
