The Colony of Common3 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Abdul with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.284 billion Common3ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tripoli. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Common3ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,432 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,631 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, retirement homes are filled with foreign war criminals, and government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common3's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Muslim.

Common3 is ranked 10,546^th in the world and 2^nd in Common Storage for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,439.25 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
