The Spooky Federation of Colmis is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ghost with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.599 billion Colmisians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ionata. The average income tax rate is 4.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colmisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,585 trillion Denalms a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 240,293 Denalms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, hockey players who drop their gloves discard them on abandoned baseball mitts, and in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight. Crime is totally unknown. Colmis's national animal is the Easter bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Colmis is ranked 840^th in the world and 1^st in Christians for Least Corrupt Governments, with 97.76 percentage of bribes refused.
