The Great Empire of Colgland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, vat-grown people, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.182 billion Colglandians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colgland City. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colglandian economy, worth 412 trillion Dollar colglands a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 129,527 Dollar colglands, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colgland's national animal is the White Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Colglandism.
