The Colony of Nicolas Cruz is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.143 billion Nicolas Cruzians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.3%.

The thriving Nicolas Cruzian economy, worth 297 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 71,760 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 238,843 per year while the poor average 16,065, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Nicolas Cruz's national animal is the crow, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Nicolas Cruz is ranked 98,010^th in the world and 3^rd in The Republic of California for Highest Food Quality, scoring 23.46 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
