The Colony of The NSS Ministry of Colonial Affairs is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The NSS Colonial Council with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.842 billion Colonials 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, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry, Spirituality, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Potestas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 49.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Colonial economy, worth 727 trillion Federation Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 256,119 Federation Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,324,132 per year while the poor average 3,280, a ratio of 708 to 1.

Fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, and six-year-old children playing dress-up are viewed with suspicion. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The NSS Ministry of Colonial Affairs's national animal is the Sable antelope, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The NSS Ministry of Colonial Affairs is ranked 199,349^th in the world and 1,019^th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
