The Colony of Contraption is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, prohibition of alcohol, and avant-garde cinema. The democratic, devout population of 455 million Contraptionians are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, with Education, Welfare, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Public Transport is ignored. The average income tax rate is 25.8%.

The Contraptionian economy, worth 22.6 trillion Diamonds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,753 Diamonds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Students do more community service than homework, beggars lack pockets for spare change, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Contraption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Contraption's national animal is the Zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
