The Colony of Port Kolossa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.497 billion Port Kolossans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The relatively small, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 13.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Port Kolossan economy, worth 85.0 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,775 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, most farmers are indentured to agrochemical conglomerates, metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach, and hospitals have to sell their computers on vBay in order to afford the ransomware decryption payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Port Kolossa's national animal is the petrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Port Kolossa is ranked 135,392nd in the world and 10th in Seas for Most Developed, scoring 57.3 on the Human Development Index.
