The Free Land of Colap is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 341 million Colapians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 12.5%.

The Colapian economy, worth 19.1 trillion Gooblers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,910 Gooblers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign despots proudly bandstand on Colapian airwaves, chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom, classes at Colap City University get canceled on Brancaland's Independence Day, and the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Colap's national animal is the Monkeh, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Colap is ranked 164,054^th in the world and 87^th in Atlanticana for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 444.1 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
