The Confederate technocracy of Great United Columbia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Monika Habsburg with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.116 billion Columbions 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celeste mountain. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Columbion economy, worth 755 trillion Natridiniums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,638 Natridiniums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, and Columbion tourists are banned from many nations due to their tendency to randomly explode. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great United Columbia's national animal is the Whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Catholicism.
Great United Columbia is ranked 143,975th in the world and 13th in Arctica for Most Stationary, with 185.3756452484 days.
