The Communist Dictatorship of The Colony is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Communist Party with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.879 billion Colonists are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Port. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Colonial economy, worth 70.9 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. 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 37,713 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, and auditors are gutting every governmental department. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Colony's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Colony is ranked 17,380^th in the world and 413^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 55.27 flags saluted per person per day.
