The Republic of Colonalia is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by President Jake Crafter with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 914 million Colonalians 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Sutherford. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colonalian economy, worth 94.7 trillion Cons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 103,659 Cons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship, the nation doesn't need to go to war in order to acquire new territory, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colonalia's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Colonalia is ranked 16,300^th in the world and 43^rd in Spiritus for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 98.3 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
