Opethia

Opethia is a medium sized, somewhat developed, and maturing nation at 46 days old with citizens primarily of Scandinavian ethnicity whose religion is Baha'i Faith. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Opethia work diligently to produce Lead and Rubber as tradable resources for their nation. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. When it comes to nuclear weapons Opethia will not research or develop nuclear weapons. Plans are on the way within Opethia to open new rehabilitation centers across the nation and educate its citizens of the dangers of drug use. Opethia allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It welcomes all new immigrants with open borders. Opethia believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. Opethia will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.
