The Federal Republic of Coldian is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Cole with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 2.571 billion Coldians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Collin. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Coldianese economy, worth 603 trillion Collans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 234,617 Collans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Coldianese as 'your finger, you fool', people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, President Cole can often be seen hanging around playgrounds chatting with the kids, and from the highest mountain to the deepest cave - one can always count on finding a good cell signal in Coldian. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Coldian's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Coldian is ranked 13,689^th in the world and 266^th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,284.02 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
