The Union of The Free Columbian States is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President A Morgan with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 9.071 billion Columbians 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 Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Detroit. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Columbian economy, worth a remarkable 3,013 trillion Union dollar $s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 332,241 Union dollar $s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-call doctors who check their pagers during movies are banned from cinemas for life, this year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, and candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free Columbian States's national animal is the Everest Raccoon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Indubitablism.

The Free Columbian States is ranked 287,966th in the world and 9,967th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 3.35033118912 days.
