The Republic of Decolonia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 649 million Decolonians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydney. The average income tax rate is 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Decolonian economy, worth 53.1 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,774 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, and childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Decolonia's national animal is the dingo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Decolonia is ranked 228,408^th in the world and 660^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 14.36 Atheism Rate.
