The Empire of Colorlood is a huge, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 976 million Colorloodians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Colorloodian economy, worth 68.7 trillion Coloods a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,352 Coloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the nation's soldiers are considered the best-dressed in Balder, kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, and blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Colorlood's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Colorlood is ranked 171,019^th in the world and 6,536^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 253.33 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
