The Colony of 1050103 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.959 billion 1050103ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 72.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 1050103ian economy, worth 898 trillion 131514525s 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 150,816 131514525s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The family summer vacation has become a thing of the past following the introduction of the year-round school year, immigrants who don't like the taste of 1050103ian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, there are no longer any roads less traveled, and many of the unemployed have had the fight taken out of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1050103's national animal is the 1951822112, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

1050103 is ranked 272,876th in the world and 1,856th in 105 for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 36.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
