The Armed Republic of HK Colt is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Browning with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.587 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Browning. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Automobile Manufacturing.

Concert pianists lie about their occupation to avoid ridicule, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, the nation leads Europeia in per capita stalking, and the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HK Colt's national animal is the automatic rifle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Armamentism, and its currency is the lead.

HK Colt is ranked 1,059th in Europeia and 124,399th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 5 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
