The Republic of Collignic is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 7.848 billion Collignicians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.0%.

The strong Collignician economy, worth 368 trillion marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 46,893 marks, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, surveillance cameras are banned, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime is a problem. Collignic's national animal is the parrot, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Collignic is ranked 84,885^th in the world and 1^st in Zenya for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,422.39 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
