The Holy Empire of Optimus Legius Opostite is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, soft-spoken computers, and digital currency. The cynical population of 9.375 billion Optimus Legius Opostiteans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Optimus Legius Opostitean economy, worth 853 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 91,014 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Optimus Legius Opostite, the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, thousands of children die every day from easily curable illnesses, and 'Cobranado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Optimus Legius Opostite's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Optimus Legius Opostite is ranked 37,202nd in the world and 178th in Suspicious for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.92 law-abiding acts per hour.
