The Democratic Republic of Colin Country is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, devout population of 118 million Colin Countryians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Colin Countryian economy, worth 7.70 trillion credits 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 65,286 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League. Crime is almost non-existent. Colin Country's national animal is the frog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Colin Country is ranked 199,907th in the world and 31st in Hannan2027 for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 420.31 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
