The Empire of Colop is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Raynia Sahan Peeler with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 8.514 billion Colopians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colop city. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,697 trillion cols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 199,352 cols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, Colop successfully hosted the Lazarus Olympics, and the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colop's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is colpision.

Colop is ranked 17,520^th in the world and 1,110^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,662.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
