The Empire of Colop is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Raynia Sahan Peeler with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 8.382 billion Colopians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colop city. The average income tax rate is 82.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,674 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. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,812 cols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century. 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 16,914^th in the world and 986^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,724.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
