The Island of Kolloquia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 6.014 billion Kolloquians 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Legatia. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kolloquian economy, worth a remarkable 1,110 trillion klips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 184,585 klips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, and editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kolloquia's national animal is the Kolloquian Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Pacifism.

Kolloquia is ranked 287,281^st in the world and 10^th in Mismatched Masterpiece for Most Primitive, scoring -492.81 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
