The Columbian Imperium of North American Imperial State is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Valerina with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.542 billion Columbians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Wooloo. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Columbians economy, worth a remarkable 1,887 trillion Federal Galatic Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 220,993 Federal Galatic Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many believe that Empress Valerina's head is big enough for the sun to orbit around it, the media seems excessively interested in what Empress Valerina is wearing this season, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and notable individuals are granted land and titles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. North American Imperial State's national animal is the Wooloo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Crymeathea.

North American Imperial State is ranked 3,386^th in the world and 9^th in Institute of Cellulose for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.89 law-abiding acts per hour.
