The Conservative Republic of Colloppe is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Representative Ben Carpenter with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.672 billion Colloppeons are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Colloppean economy, worth 353 trillion Copper cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,155 Copper cards, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Colloppe to be bombproof, and the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colloppe's national animal is the Mountain lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Colloppe is ranked 309,368^th in the world and 3,795^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 22.31 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
