The Kingdom of Collony is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Dom Pedro II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.706 billion Collonyians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Collony City. The average income tax rate is 32.8%.

The powerhouse Collonyian economy, worth 974 trillion dollars 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 111,956 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

There's a bright dawn ahead for Collony, grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and children are encouraged to fail at school so as not to appear too enlightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Collony's national animal is the panther, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Collony is ranked 159,995th in the world and 145th in The Black Hawks for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 32.84 Effective Tax Rate.
