The Villa of The Holy Columbian States is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.562 billion Richmoners enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The sizeable but inefficient Richmonian economy, worth 70.8 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,304 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Statues of famous citizens are erected or demolished on a purely partisan basis, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, Leader has just been declared ruler of The Holy Columbian States in an international press conference, and Americanist Christianity has been named as The Holy Columbian States's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Holy Columbian States's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Americanist Christianity.
