The Unitary Provinces of Colfes is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Johannes Hayato with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.538 billion Colfesians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Ataro. The average income tax rate is 20.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colfen economy, worth 437 trillion Deltas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 172,247 Deltas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The Navy has outraged the international community by sinking a boatload of refugees to prevent them reaching the shore, tourists visit Colfes to mass-moon Colfen politicians, oxygen is commonly known as 'breathinium', and it's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Colfes's national animal is the Honeybee, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Helionism.

Colfes is ranked 16,705^th in the world and 940^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 85.9 on the Human Development Index.
