The Octopolis of Kolyagrad is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Octomayor Kolya with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, humorless population of 17.017 billion Kolyans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kolyagrad. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The Kolyish economy, worth a remarkable 1,426 trillion Kolyish Guilders a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 83,823 Kolyish Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification, 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days', war criminals are given full state funerals, and many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kolyagrad's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kolyagrad is ranked 93,377th in the world and 239th in The Communist Bloc for Most Stationary, with 493.40380227692 days.
