The Empire of Colop is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Raynia Sahan Peeler with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 8.487 billion Colopians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Colop city. The average income tax rate is 81.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Colopian economy, worth a remarkable 1,683 trillion cols a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 198,331 cols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, the government is reining in public spending, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, and much of Colop's computer network is controlled by a rampant artificial intelligence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colop's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is colpision.

Colop is ranked 174,410^th in the world and 9,168^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,898.08 Standard Monetary Units.
