The Federation of Colrianstanta is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7 million Colrianstanoi enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The Colrianstano economy, worth 449 billion Kygars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 64,175 Kygars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, the term cold case has taken on a very literal meaning, government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, and broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Colrianstanta's national animal is the colt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Colrianstanta is ranked 121,333^rd in the world and 374^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,478.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
